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.

A Lenovo PC that runs Linux out of the box sounds amazing, I've heard those exist now and I'm glad they do. I've always been curious to try out Linux but have never wanted to go through the trouble of installing it.

    I personally witnessed two lenovo legion laptops bought at the same time have pretty severe issues. One had a USB port fail, and the other seemed to have an issue with the SSD controller where it would flake out every 30 minutes causing a complete system crash, even after replacing ram and SSD.

    They were both the same model, so maybe there was something specific to that, but considering bow much they cost and yet only lasted a year before encountering issues, desktops seem the safer long-term bet.
