I never thought it would come to this. I am having to buy a laptop specifically to play games on. I already have a Chromebook for work, which I love and use daily, but it does not, of course, offer any kind of gaming capability. It does not have teamspeak, which is an issue socially for keeping in touch with my friends from home, and I cannot play anything on it other than browser based flash nonsense.
I do not need much though. Only a laptop that can handle the basics so I can play with a couple of my buddies. I have my eye on one already that is not too expensive, but towards Black Friday and Christmas it might, hopefully, drop £50 or so to make it even more affordable. Then comes the hassle of working out how to sit with it, how to play and if I need a control or not. But we’ll get there once I have one.
