For just over 1K there is a nicely equipped Asus ROG i7 16GB DDR4 1050 GPU machine.
For desktops you have a million choices like https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds
So I plan on selling the laptop I have now and upgrading. My question is should I sell my laptop and get a gaming laptop, or sell my laptop and get a cheap laptop and build a gaming desktop.
I would like to mention I am in college so I need some kind of laptop. I have heard that gaming laptops are spendy for what you get. All opinions are welcome!!
