Is it worth switching to a laptop for mobility purposes?

2. Should I sell the desktop or trade it?

3. If I see, what's the value?

4. What kind of laptop could I get with this build if I was to trade.

1. If you are going to travel a LOT then yes

2. Don't do either if you are still at your home most of the time

3. Of your desktop? I'd say its probably worth about 700-750 used (maybe 650)

4. A bad gaming laptop, don't get a laptop, stick with your desktop, it's still very good. You'll get worse performance from a laptop of the same price

I currently have a desktop but I have four

questions.

1. Is it worth switching to a laptop for mobility purposes?

2. Should I sell the desktop or trade it?

3. If I see, what's the value?

4. What kind of laptop could I get with this build if I was to trade.
