Console or PC? What's the better investment? Do we need both?

I bought a Legion 5 instead of going next gen console. Best move i ever did. Do you thing its the better more? And do PCs outlast a console?

  • If you don't put a lot of time into gaming I can absolutely see the benefits of being a console gamer. There is something nice about being able to jump into games much more quickly with fewer steps in my experience.

    With that said I still completely favor PC gaming simply because the additional flexibility that the PC gives you. You can tweak graphics to get better performance, swap out parts to increase your systems gaming capacity, and most importantly do tons of other tasks like video editing or music production on the same system you game on. There is very little downside to having an all in one gaming and production machine, even if it is a greater investment initially.

  • Yes I fully agree! I bought a Legion 5 3 years ago. I've wanted something like this beast for ages. I finally got it specifically for low level audio production. Running FL Studio, Video and Picture editing, rendering. I do that and run Game hard on this beast. I would love to split the workload.. I think on one I would use for Studio and the other for Gaming.
