1.1. Do you want to use primarily mobile or stationary laptop? How mobile should the laptop be? Should it be a 2-in-1 laptop / convertible?

Story games with medium to high performance requirements and also, for example, cyberpunk. Medium settings in FullHD. For history games 30FPS +, “action games” 60FPS +
