It's more portable than a full ATX case, 24" monitor, keyboard, mouse, and headphones/speakers.
If I did more LAN parties, I'd consider one. But trade off, as you mentioned, far worse $/performance, limited upgrade options, throw away if major part fails, etc.

Two options,
-get one with the weakest internal graphics and spend that towards an external graphics card.
-get one with good graphics card built in for graphics power on the go. The GTX graphics cards on the ROG laptops are the same as the desktop counterparts.
Its not cheaper for sure but you can still get desktop performance.

If anyone sees a good deal on a DJI Mavic post it up, would be much appreciated. So far the one on Amazon Canada seems the best deal for a package with extra batteries as you wouldn't have to pay the US duties

It's essentially brand new with possibly slight usage on the blender base. Jugs, lid, and tamper are new. Comes with a 5 year warranty instead of the standard 7 year warranty, but if you're machine was going to die, it'd probably die sometime within the first few years anyways.

sound link mini is on sale right now. I'd say theyre the best mini speakers you can buy, but on the pricey side.
I personally own the full sized sound link III.

I mean with all the voice chat and stuff is pretty easy to play with your buddies at home in PJs. Is way more comfy than to pack all my gaming parts go to a friend house, found a comfy desk and chair and play.
I do bring my Wii U to friend's place from time to time to play. Those games are made for party lol.

While the extra data is nice to have, we'll be loosing out on Spotify and Canada Wide. So it's a toss up. Quote:

^ so with spotify on fido, the membership is free but dont you still need to have enough data to stream? with 2gb you'll chew through that data quite quickly.
