    That’s when you learn that
    a) you can upgrade laptops with a larger SSD and
    b) that it’s a bad idea to buy one that has the SSD soldered on…

      Orrrrr just don’t buy games that routinely require you to have 250gb of space dedicated to them.

        Yeah what the fuck? Just buy a 4080, just open your laptop and fuck around with a new ssd, so worth it to play the new game that is actually the ladt three games.

      External SSDs are more than fast enough for any game as long as there’s not a bus or enclosure bottleneck, and they’re portable. You don’t even need USB 4 or Thunderbolt to get GB/s throughput with an NVMe drive.
