Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained

  Enterprise laptops for CAD, etc. still prioritize battery life over performance. Switchable graphics are a pain to setup and troubleshoot for gaming, the screens are not optimized for gaming (almost always 60Hz), thermals can be questionable, and they’re loud. Gaming laptops are built for that purpose, and they do it better than trying to shoehorn in a laptop built for an entirely different purpose.

    Thank you for your input - I think a lot of that depends on the specific model and price point as well. Imo at the end of the day it’s good to go for a laptop thick enough to accommodate a heatsink and look up any firmware restrictions on performance beforehand. Plenty of workstation laptops hit point one but I haven’t gamed on them enough to speak for point two
