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, move my series X and unplug it… And I need a wired controller. 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 (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

    My Flipper Zero. I can force myself to use it and I actually do use the 125khz emulation. But thats it. I feel like I’m wasting it by not hacking with it.

    As a side note your gaming laptop wouldnt need to update all the time if it was left on to update. Gaming laptops IMO always suck and desktops are better.

      Same, though in my case my sole use is the IR. Replaced so many random little remotes from random little light up things.

      Why couldn’t they add barcode scanning to the device? Cheap and useful.

      Or even a camera? I could use it daily in the IT world for pen testing and video/ picture proof.

      It would not add much cost…

      Even Wi-Fi is cheap as hell… Yet it doesn’t have it.
