Honestly, I’m still on the fence about getting a new rig and need a bit of convincing.
My old laptop is currently in for repairs (already being fixed), but even before that, it could run a lot of games I haven’t even tried yet. I’ve got a pretty big backlog of classic and indie titles I want to get through: Fallout 1 through New Vegas, Skyrim + Enderal, Minecraft, Terraria, Hytale, and more. Realistically, I wouldn’t need to touch modern AAA games for a long time.
That said, my PC struggled with Witcher 3 and I couldn’t run Cyberpunk 2077 at all, so I know I’m completely locked out of newer, demanding titles.
One thing that’s making me consider buying a laptop now is the thought that prices might go up in this AI-heavy economy if I wait.
So… convince me
What modern, high-requirement games (Cyberpunk-tier or higher) are actually worth upgrading for? What would make you say, “yeah, this alone justifies a new PC”?
