I am a young person and I don't currently have a laptop however I am looking into getting one, I want a laptop to play games because I don't like the idea of a whole PC setup but I want access to steam and mods however I soon am probably going to need a laptop for a job and am curious if it would be a bad idea to work on the same laptop you game. I wouldn't get a big bright neon lights loud gaming laptop it would be as normal as I can get it I'm just more curious on how things will be actually on the laptop, will things be cluttered or will there not be room or anything like that. Anything helps whether it's advice or personal experience or both I just don't want to make a purchase I regret, thanks!
