PC or Laptop?

[Matthewfofficial]

Budget (including currency): $2000 USD

Country: America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FS22, COD, Minecraft, Roblox, Six Siege, and many more

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I don't know if I should go with a laptop or pc with this small of a budget! Can anyone help me make my decision?

When it comes to PC or laptop, the simplest way to determine is by checking your mobility usage and part upgrade plans

 

Pro PC:

1. Performs way better with the same budget compared to laptop

2. Upgradeable as long as you have budget and you can sell the old parts relatively easy

3. Easier to fix and troubleshoot and do parts replacements if necessary

 

Pro Laptop:
1. Mobility, if you feel bored gaming at home, you can do gaming at coffee shop (speaking from experience)

2. Depending on your work, maybe able to be used to present your work to your colleague/client, or school work

3. Takes way less space and power consumption than PC

4. No need for complicated parts planning, since it's all-in-one (including monitor, keyboard and RGB), the only parts you probably need to buy is mouse, but sometimes you can get mouse as freebie when purchasing a laptop (depending on your seller)

 

If you use case only for gaming and wanna go mobile, you may consider gaming handheld such as Steam Deck or ASUS ROG Ally

Are you going to a travel a lot AND game on your laptop? even if you are, it'll have to be pretty hefty and even then battery life won't be amazing

I'd go for this
