Get the best gaming laptop.
- The GPU on a PS4 is commonly said to be not as good as the 860M, 870M and 880M.
-A lifespan on a gaming laptop is longer than a PS4.
- Laptop is much more portable than a console.
-You can play games on Steam
Maybe consider a Gaming PC if you don't mind.
Note: This is my honest opinion.
1. Please, tell me how a 2k Gaming Laptop with an 880m runs Watch dogs Ultra at ~40fps is better than a 500$ console that runs the game at 60fps. The same question goes for a desktop with an 780 ti (the 780 doesn't have enough vram and therefore the fps are poor)
2. I disagree with this one
3. True
4. True
OP Needs portability
Danbuscus "a ps4 would be cheaper than a laptop with the same gaming power. only problem is, the ps4 needs an external monitor/TV." True
Now my opinion:
If you're sure you will have an external monitor and you don't need any other utilities of a laptop (browsing, office, etc) I'd say you're better off with a ps4. If you are unsure about having a monitor or you need office or anything that can't be done on a ps4 get a laptop
