Ultra-low-end business laptops from 2015 with a mobile Intel Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics still have a dramatically better gaming experience than the Pixel 7 Pro. Why?

By the way, this is even with the help of emulators. Without emulators, gaming would outright be impossible for most people

      Depends. I enjoy a card game or sudoku on mobile.

      But for real games I use my PC. I don’t understand people going crazy about the steam deck too. Who in their right mind enjoys for example Cyberpunk on a tiny screen, that’s like watching Dune on your phone. What’s the point?

        Actually, the answer for small screens is specially for porn games. A lot of people cannot comfortably enjoy them on a laptop or desktop IBM PC, so they need a device they can take with them into their bed so they can comfortably play these.

        Unfortunately, the developers did not listen, so people like me risk hurting their neck and back to play these in bed by using a laptop.

        Not to mention, my Pixel 7 Pro has a much better display than my laptop.

      Slay the Spire is superior on mobile (so are a ton of board games like Jaipur and Spelndor). Sagrada works really well. I’m curious about the new Ass creed. The old Infinity Blade games were fun and had overall good graphics, even for PC games. I wish the dude behind “THOSE GAMES” would port it to mobile, but steam link is a thing. Doorkickers. Some of the dual-stick shooters.
