VR/AR system build recommendation? - severos - Jun 12, 2021
Recently I've been visiting a friend who has a VR gaming setup, and I gotta say I'm getting hooked into it, but my 6+yo laptop can no way run any VR shit.
So... I'm wrapping my head around buying something that can run VR, maybe some AR as well.
I'm almost always in-doors, but if there's a good laptop setup without too much over-cost, it would be amazing if I can take my VR outside to play and hopefully get other people addicted to it😈🐱👤
Does anyone have recommendation for such setup? I'm still working around my budget, hopefully around 600~1000$
I know there's global shortage of GPUs around, which is why I'm a bit concerned about timing, not really in a rush, so this maybe is like couple months project for me. Also, have a friend in some tech company that will be meeting some people from Nvidia, so I asked him to see if they got some hidden stash somewhere🕵️

A shortage of desktop GPU's for sure but I've found laptops with 3060's for around $1200-1400

How much would it cost for a PC with similar specs? Is there any drop of performance because of laptop?
Also, how many years would it last considering couple hours of gaming per week?

$1200-1300 for a 3060 GPU, laptops usually have their laptop variants they are still quite powerful do not under estimate them.

So is it actually worth buying a laptop for VR/AR gaming/dev instead of a PC?
I'm dropping by akihabara sometime this week or next week for a GPU hunt, might find some cheap ones.

I never said instead of a PC, I just said that amidst a GPU shortage this is an option

Always wanted to get into this. Never found the opportunity.
