I am not a PC gamer. I’ve been an Xbox player since 2009 and lately I’ve been obsessed with Fallout 4. A coworker has recently updated their gaming setup and offered me to try out a Asus Predator 17” laptop. I don’t know the generation but it’s plenty beefy to play FO4.
Long story short, I lugged this giant slab home, installed Steam, purchased FO4 and started playing.
Pros:
really fast load times
no problem using my Xbox wireless controller
using windows for gaming with Steam is hassle-free
Cons:
big (not so heavy, though)
gamer design, so targetting a consumer 30 years younger than me
LOUDER THAN A REVVING JET ENGINE
That last one was a dealbreaker. My wife could hear it in the next room over.
So the plan is to try to shoehorn in the xbox + TV somewhere where it’s not as prominent, and let this computer go back.
Thanks a lot to Micke for letting me try this out over the weekend!
After I wrote this I realized that I’ve been idly thinking about the Steam Deck, and that device might just be what I’m looking for as a game platform at home.
