Longevity: Laptop vs custom built gaming desktop for WoW?

Hi all!

I’ve had my mind set on a new gaming computer for some time now. I’m a bit stuck on the classic ‘laptop vs desktop’ debacle… I enjoy the mobility a laptop offers, but experience thought me that, due to limited upgradability, laptops tend to outdate faster. I have my eyes set on a 4080 machine: either the Predator Helios 16 or a fully custom built machine (looking at a custom design from Fenn Systems atm).

Looking at h ttps://fenn.systems/pre-designed-gaming/ for desktop or h ttps://www.coolblue.be/en/product/926505/acer-predator-helios-16-ph16-71-990v-azerty.html for laptop fyi

How long do you feel a 4080 laptop would last before it would start to struggle with titles like World of Warcraft or even modern AAA games?

Maybe I’m overthinking it… :sweat_smile: Thanks for the advise!
