Summary
His over-$2,000 RTX 3060 Razer Blade Pro is overheating, lagging, and failing after roughly two years, forcing a cheaper replacement. The $700 ROG Ally becomes his main Windows computer, replacing the laptop with browsers, Steam, Game Pass, keyboard, and mouse. At low settings, Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 run around 40–60 FPS; fast battery drain and a small screen remain drawbacks.
Insight
He now favors Windows versatility and AAA gaming over the Switch’s portability and battery life.
