To be frank, I’ll never get the appeal of turning your laptop into a desktop/monitor. Just hook it up to actual monitor…
Not everyone can afford or has the space to have both, and portability becomes the key factor. Easy to grab this laptop as desktop throw it in a bag and go. Can't really do that with a desktop.
If you can afford a gaming laptop, you can afford a 100 dollar monitor
1080p 22" monitors are $5 at a thrift store.
I seriously can't afford one tho, I mean I can but it has to be the same image quality or better than my laptop screen and a decent'ish monitor is quite expensive where I live (120$ or more)
Different issue, but relevant to me: my laptop’s internal display is much better than most monitors that wouldn’t break the bank.
So using its display makes sense to me.
