Hey all! Currently gaming on a Dell laptop which runs most of my stuff fine, but there are some more intense games like RDR2 that it struggles with. I'd like to upgrade to something a bit beefier and wondering what y'all like as far as gaming PCs or laptops go.

I know some of y'all are gonna tell me to build a PC but I don't have any interest in that. With the prices these days I don't think it's worth it, and in any case I'd much rather just plug and play.

Honestly, these days I find it easier to set up linux than windows.

Yep! A few months ago I installed Windows 11 on my Surface laptop to update the firmware. It took 50mins just to install! After I updated the firmware, EndeavourOS (Arch) took 8mins.
