Hello,

I search a good gaming laptop and a VR heaset to play some game like Beat Saber, but the VR headset need to be easily movable, and the laptop not to heavy.

I’m going to use it to play with friends on some event, or when I moving for my jobs.

Thanks 🫡

    VR is pain enough as is; adding a Laptop with weird GPU setups into the mix is going to be even more pain.

    Oh, this is the Linux gaming community. Multiply the pain by 10.

    My SurfaceBook 2 runs Beat Saber well using Quest 2 and Steam Link. It has a GTX 1060, if that helps. Huge grain of salt because I have not tried it since switching to Linux.

    If you get a Quest 3, it should play those kinds of games stand alone, no problem. No gaming laptop required. If it is going to be a more graphically intense game, or the games are only on Steam or whatever (so needs Steam Link), you are going to need a gaming laptop with a discrete GPU (released from the last 3-4 years). To do the wireless link, you’ll need a wifi6 capable access point/router, and wifi6 capable chipset in the laptop, or a dongle, or a gigabit ethernet cable from the laptop directly plugged in into the access pointer/router.
