You mean x86 based games?Oxymoron. Games ain't gonna run well on emulation.
That's all of games.You mean x86 based games?
Switch is already Tegra and every other handheld tends to run PC games.I was thinking for gaming devices,handhelds etc, not laptops.
Valve might want try going to support arm in some kind of fashion.That's all of games.

Don't need to really. 13th and 14 Gen are cheap, Strix is not.

There's a Lunar Lake based MSI I think.they all have AMD x86 cpus hahaha

legion 5 with 9955hx + rtx5060 at $1.3k - literally entire 9950x running slightly lower clocks
Caught, but crucially, not exactly punished or stopped.They literally used to and were caught. Companies like this never stop when they get caught, they just get smarter about hiding it.
Where are you getting this price? All I could find on pricing was a note in this article from ultrabook review.legion 5 with 9955hx + rtx5060 at $1.3k
Price: from $1399 for R9 + RTX 5060 configuration, expected around summer 2025
In my experience "desktop replacement" laptops like this aren't actually good desktop replacements, and also don't make for very good laptops either. They're essentially conveniently portable mini desktops with gimped thermals and power limits compared to a proper desktop. Mobile GPUs often don't even use the same die as the desktop GPUs they share a name with. Performance of the same GPU/CPU can be all over the place on mobile platforms depending on how the power limits are configured by the OEM. While I agree with you that it's a pretty good value proposition on paper, I'd take a $1400 DIY desktop over a laptop like that any day of the week for gaming or light workstation use unless the portability factor was critical.this is basically the cheapest way to get a 9950x + 5060 gaming computer...
and it's a full laptop with OLED
just ran a custom 9950x desktop config in 3 countries, the cheapest is USA at $1.6k, all cheapest parts and rtx4060
gaming performance difference between desktop laptop will be like 20% at best/worst
no point buying desktops anymore unless super high end
and why the frick retailers are gimping 9950x laptops so hard...
You'd have to be more specific than "gaming performance difference between desktop laptop will be like 20% at best/worst". That bit of conjecture is completely meaningless without specifics. What's being compared?
compare
7945hx + 4060m laptop
vs
7950x + 4060 desktop
etc
the average delta is 20% in games
pure cpu diff is like 5% average - the main difference is u cannot really overclock the laptop cpu
> unless portability factor critical
you can't travel with a desktop.....
you can take a laptop anywhere
at similar price and similar performance why not just laptop
even if u travel only few weeks per year why have laptop only for those weeks

From what I understand, this would have to be native Linux-AARCH64 games which use Proton APIs. That is, game developers would need to port games to this particular platform. (Which would be aided by API-level compatibility within Proton's scope.)Valve might want try going to support arm in some kind of fashion.

Depends very significantly on the user.trust me if normal people realized the performance, convenience and price of today's desktop replacements the desktop market would plunge
2.5kg 16'' is nowhere near bulky or heavy (but 3.5kg is)
See you just proved my point, even pros think desktop replacements are "rubbish at both roles" when they're in fact excellent at both rolesnot have a device that's rubbish at both roles instead.
It depends on what you want to do really. I need to have a laptop because I have no room in my apartment where I can put a desktop so my work and game place is the couch. And my current laptop in terms of power is not a lightweight, a 13900HX as a CPU, a 4080 mobile as GPU with a 175W power limit. I can play with just every AAA title out there, with some compromises also many desktop have. And I can bring it with me as it's 3,5 Kg power supply included. It may be connected to large screens or good keyboards if needed. So all in all is mostly driven by preferences and needs.Depends very significantly on the user.
I'd be willing to bet most people would rather have their laptop be a laptop and their desktop be a desktop, and not have a device that's rubbish at both roles instead.

You call them "excellent" at both roles, but anything with a 7945HX gets like 3-4 hours battery life tops. That's not what I'd call "excellent" as a laptop, that's what I'd call "absolutely dog-water".See you just proved my point, even pros think desktop replacements are "rubbish at both roles" when they're in fact excellent at both roles
they USED TO BE rubbish at both roles and everyone will agree to that, up until zen 2 changed the landscape
have you tried a 7945hx 2.5kg laptop? or even a 7840hs 2kg
