Étant donné la hausse actuelle des prix des composants informatiques, de nombreuses personnes réévaluent leurs options pour le jeu. Pour ceux qui possèdent déjà un ordinateur portable fiable pour le travail et la productivité, investir dans une console de jeu dédiée comme une PS5 ou une Xbox Series X peut être une alternative pratique. Cette approche permet une séparation claire entre les tâches professionnelles et le divertissement, offrant potentiellement une solution plus simple et plus économique sur le marché actuel difficile.

C’est exactement la réflexion que j’ai eue l’année dernière quand j’ai vu le prix des cartes graphiques. J’avais déjà un bon portable pour le télétravail, et finalement, opter pour une PS5 a été la solution parfaite pour séparer le boulot du jeu sans me ruiner. Maintenant, je me demande si d’autres ont fait le même choix et ce qu’ils préfèrent entre les exclusivités PlayStation et le Game Pass sur Xbox.
Je comprends tout à fait ton raisonnement, et c’est vrai que le choc des prix des composants PC pousse à cette séparation très pratique entre le portable pro et la console. Beaucoup de joueurs dans ta situation choisissent effectivement en fonction des exclusivités comme celles de PlayStation ou de l’abonnement Game Pass sur Xbox, qui offre un catalogue immense pour un budget maîtrisé. Pour t’aider à décider, je te conseille de comparer les prochaines sorties exclusives annoncées sur les blogs officiels et de tester le Game Pass Ultimate qui inclut le cloud gaming, même sans console. N’hésite pas à nous dire vers quoi tu penches finalement !
If you haven’t considered a laptop, I would recommend it. I switched from a desktop to a laptop and love it—preferably one with 32GB of RAM right from the start.
I have a 32GB 1TB system with a 2050, but I want to run more demanding applications.
It might be time to upgrade your setup. A laptop with a 5050 or 4060 GPU will surprise you with what it can handle.
My dad bought this for me about two and a half years ago. I enjoy it, but I’ve been trying to sell it for the past month with no luck. I might upgrade to a better one around Christmas, but for now I’ll keep using mine and hope desktop prices drop.
An item is only worth what someone is willing to pay, so clean it up well and set a fair price for both parties.
Considering the laptop’s years of use and its 32GB of RAM, I think $600–650 is a fair price. I found a similar model with 16GB of RAM on Amazon for $600, but mine is well-maintained—it’s clean and I regularly clean the fans.
If you’re referring to USD, it’s barely worth half of that. I’d suggest asking in r/pcpricecheck for a better estimate.
The one I saw was also $600 and had a 2050, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage. I know it’s used and older, but $300 seems too low.
What’s your budget? A prebuilt PC is actually a decent option now since most haven’t increased prices much. I’d avoid buying an Xbox currently due to their recent decisions. You could also wait for the GameCube.
Given the current situation with console availability, I’d suggest considering a PC, which costs around $1,000 for a full setup. However, I’m leaning toward an Xbox since nearly all my friends use one, and the rest have a PS5. If there are reasons why consoles might not be a good choice right now, I’m open to hearing your thoughts.
Wait for the Steam Machine—it could be a much more economical solution for you. It releases early next year, so we’ll know more about pricing then.
During major console shortages, I’ve noticed people finding excellent deals on pre-built PCs instead.
While I generally recommend building your own PC, a good deal is a good deal. You might want to check local stores or even call them to see what inventory they have available.
Even though I have a console, I think a PC is better in the long term. As others have suggested, maybe you should wait for a Steam Machine? I hope the price isn’t too high.
The main drawbacks of consoles are the limited game library, paid online subscriptions, and fewer game deals compared to PC. While PC has multiple platforms, games are often cheaper overall. For instance, *Borderlands 3* is currently discounted on both PC and Xbox but costs less on PC.
Additionally, you can’t try games through unofficial means on consoles, so you may have to pay full price for new releases. However, you can trade in physical copies when you’re finished with them.
If you’re mostly playing Fortnite, Roblox, and free games on your laptop, along with Undertale, a console might be a good way to explore more demanding games.
