I have a personal computer for the first time in over four years (my last company was very lax and I used their laptop for most things). Now I have Steam installed for first time in just as long. Very excite
Even at lax places I've never been able to get past knowing they can look at my web history and that it's technically not my computer, plus there's always those user account controls that mean I couldn't install anything.
What did you end up getting?
I got: Lenovo LOQ 15.6" FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i5)[GeForce RTX 2050]. The only game I'll play is Dota 2 probably so this should do the trick nicely
It's good you know what you need it for. I built a pretty hectic PC a little while ago and the most intensive thing I play I'd Elden Ring. Otherwise I'm happy with older games. I probably didn't need to go that hard with the specs
