I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don’t have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use it and move my series X and unplug it… Then, there’s always a pesky update, drivers, stuff… When I’m playing on my X I don’t have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use.
Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games in Xbox but even like that the regret is there.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. The steam deck for me has been a to successful (sorry for the pun) game changer.
