When it comes to gaming: What’s the best device?

When it comes to relaxation, most students will usually play video games. Standing in long lines to buy that new gaming console after saving up the money is exciting. However, it can be quite pricey which is why computer gaming is ideal and within everyone’s budget.

As price tags rise, it gets harder to keep up with the latest technology, especially if your only motivation is simply to be seen as cool or have envious eyes on you. With a laptop, a student can play decent games through Steam which gives them a profile so they can level up, gain achievements, have friends, play with others easily, chat and get all the seasonal or weekly deals.

Lenovo laptop is a good computer for gaming. It is able to run games such as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dishonored and the Borderlands series without a problem. Plus, it saves money on games as long as someone is willing to wait for the deals. These sales include 25, 60, 75 or sometimes even 90 percent off.

This would surely allow a student to have plenty of games in their library that they can pick from at their leisure. Steam is a social network for gamers and is superior to the console community.

The point is that not everyone can afford a new console, let alone the $60 games that go with them. If someone is a student then they should already have access to a decent laptop. If not, then they can get discounts from a multitude of stores such as, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Apple. With the discounts that are available for students it is easy to get a good computer for less than $300.

Console gaming can cost anywhere from $400 – $600, not to mention they are fairly limited in what they can do. It is true that main consoles such as the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 have hardware that is similar to desktop computers, but they are hardly customizable and lack the complete freedom that an actual computer offers.

The only thing that consoles seem to be going for them is convenience and exclusive games. Now consoles are not all bad, not completely, because there are exclusive games that one cannot ever hope to play on their computer until they have the proper console.

But until then, they should be happy to have a laptop where they can keep all their photos and video files, where they can write essays and complete other homework, send emails, listen to music, watch Netflix, customize their desktop as well as any programs and play all their favorite games with their friends on Steam.

PC gaming is the more affordable choice as well as the more functional one. PC is the master race of gaming.
