My friend is trying to make a decision on which tech he needs for his gaming. He's trying to get either a laptop or PC for gaming. Personally, I think that a PC would be a better fit for playing games.
A desktop computer is, of course, better for gaming, however, if you are in an area where there is a frequent power interruption, you will have to install UPS, which can be an additional cost. A laptop is portable and you can game anywhere.
I PC for gaming would not only possibly be cheaper but it would be the better option for gaming. It all depends if your friend wants to game just at home or whether they would also like to be able to game when they are traveling as well. Obviously for traveling a gaming laptop would be better for them but would also be more than a PC would for gaming.
