You can also get like a PS4 / Xbox and connect it to an extra monitor on your desktop setup, that way you play it off your desktop setup partially. there's a lot of things you can try, but I'd spend 2k on a good desktop that'll last you forever
I would love to get a Desktop but it's not easy to take your Desktop from College to dorm and from dorm to home And for everyone suggest game boy's, we've got Emulators for that ? Pokemon Emerald forever ️
All recent gaming laptops hardly have overheating problems. I press a button on mine and the fans go 2x as fast ??♀️ only time I’ve needed it is when I play Skyrim max graphics and have another game open in the background. Funny enough I play PIMD on my laptop too, on an emulator.
