Hardware Is my laptop reaally that bad?

[RaMon90]

I can't stand desktops no matter how powerful.
I like laptops because they are portable.
Speaking of desktops i would never get a ryzen. AMD is not a choice for me. I would get the new i9 if id get a desktop.

And staying for two long staring at a big monitor hurts my eyes.

Gaming laptops are great too especially having a desktop gpu, plus you have the lcd and you can travel easily with it. I personally would buy one if i find it for a great price.

About intel i9, it's made for workstation, video editing and something like that. It has 10 cores which is useless for gaming, also the price 999$ for cpu alone. And regarding amd ryzen, they are great too especially for multi core use.

Don't touch the i9s with a 10 foot pole, they're overpriced and a knee-jerk reaction to Ryzen

Your computer is wonderful.

Significantly better, even though I still strongly recommend a desktop PC. How do your eyes hurt more easily with a big screen than a small one? Anyway, it's your choice.

Thanks. And tbh idk why. Even when gaming in front of my 32' FHD tv makes me sleepy and hurts my eyes and i get a burning feeling on my cheeks

Amazing specs, are you sure it's a nvidia 1060? The price is good to be true, because i can find it for 1499 euro.
If the store or wherever you gonna buy from is trustable, get it.

Yep. 1060 but 3gb only. Its on sale btw

You could build a gaming desktop, and stream the games to your laptop with Steam In-Home Streaming. That's what I'm planning on doing rather than getting a new laptop, since desktops are easy to upgrade (I do have a gaming desktop already, it's just a bit outdated now since it has an i7 920 in it so I want to build a new one and stick the GTX 970 in it) and decent gaming laptops are expensive and can't be upgraded much, if at all.
If you haven't tried Steam In-Home Streaming before, give it a shot, for me it works just as well as playing the games directly on my desktop. If you want to stream wirelessly you better have 5ghz wifi at least. 802.11ac is optional, it works just as well without it.

Pretty much every low-power device now has a U series i5 or i7 kek.

Or a m-series CPU

Ow man, I thought the 6gb version. I almost forgot that the 3gb of 1060 existed lol. However i think i saw some benchmark and i see the 1060 3gb is still better than 1050 ti. So it's a great deal for that price imo.

Thanks. I COMPLETLY forgot that i can watch vr with this thing! I was so focused on the cemu thingy

Anything less than 4 physical cores should be not regarding as multicore CPUs.

Please explain why something with "less than 4 physical cores" should not be considered multicore when it clearly is.

This line makes you sound like an entitled child whose parents have always bought them an 8-core+ PC just to play Solitaire.

Nah to play at friv

I don't think it's a bad config. It's not the most powerful thing, but it's much probably fine for must games.

Too bad your vision couldn't look at my signature. I have a PC with an i3 6100 and a laptop with an i5 6200U- both with two physical cores and 4 logical.
You're thinking too straight. The point I wanted to make was that anything less than 4 physical cores should be considered what single core CPUs were when the first proper quad cores came out- relevant, but borderline weak. If it were not for the lack of well optimized games for more than 4 cores, dual core CPUs would have been well laid to rest.
Regardless of the IPC, dual cores are too weak to do anything more than basic productivity in modern personal computing.
