Need some guidance on Laptop setup

bobbybdennis · November 5

As the title states.

I got a new job and I am in a hotel Monday-wednesday every week. I have an LG gram with the following specs

i7-1065g7

40gb ram

windows 11

What I'm trying to achieve- Run simple games like avorion / lethal company while being able to still run OBS and stream to twitch.

I am wondering if I should just purchase a beefier actual gaming laptop or go the route of a egpu and try to do it that way. What I've been doing right now is using parsec to remote to my home gaming pc , but it is a bit too laggy to be able to have smooth inputs for what I'd like to do. Any guidance would be great or suggestions. thank you for taking the time to read this.

You are hardware constrained. The 10 gen mobile don't have relatively beefy iGPU like the ultra series, not even the 11gen.

Yeah that's as much as you can do lol
