I've been thinking about it, the main issue is how to get it shipped to my country in a way that I don't end up paying about 4 times the cost of an already expensive machine.
That is fair. They are definitely more than a typical laptop.
Yeah, but it feels like they're mostly worth it. Like, if there was ever a reason to get into the world of international smuggling, those machines would be The good justification.
I love mine so far. My only complaint is the charging for the 16 with the discreet graphics isn't quite enough if you do aaa gaming on it at high settings. When they come out with a 220w brick I will be content.
To be fair, if I was going for a laptop I defo wouldn't be doing this so-called "aaa" gaming. The good quality games are the oldies, the NES, SNES era, the CPS arcades. Those run well emulated on a decently-sized potato.
:D I do enjoy emulated games on it as well but bg3 has been a blast too. It was what drained my battery while being plugged in.
On a similar note I just found a 240w 48v usbc brick today, it's currently sold out everywhere but gives me hope in the next year I will be able to get one. It's a delta adp-240kb.
