Hello,
I'm considering gifting myself MSI GT72 /w skylake, 32gb ram and 980m GPU. (like this http/www.amazon.com/XOTIC-Dominator-Skylake-i7-6820HK-Computer/dp/B015QBP0KC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8)
It costs ~$2.3k. And I'm wondering is it worth it compared to similarly priced custom built desktop PC (without monitors and mouse!). I was under the impression that the price difference for the same performance is lower than it was a few years ago, so why not go mobile? Put it in a cooling dock, connect 2 monitors, keyboard+mouse and you're set. +GPU and ram are upgradeable.
But I'm not sure what kind of desktop I can get for the same price. Maybe you can show me some examples? I'm really out of touch with modern hardware
FWIW, I plan to be stationary most of the time.
