    Is it easy to remote into a gaming pc using an old gaming laptop (1050rtx)?

    I've seen deals for laptops for under Eur 1k that have 4060rtx cards in them. I don't remember much about the other specs, I was just concentrating on the graphics card because it's not upgradeable.

    you can remote but remote is not get up for gaming as . as your bandwith might be an issue .

    gaming laptops are very different ,look up some reviews on the Like of Jarrods laptops on youtube to gove you a better idea

    Is this deal in currys worth it? https://www.currys.ie/products/msi-cyborg-15-15.6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-rtx-4060-512-gb-ssd-10246640.html

    Or is it just not great value buying direct from stores in Ireland anymore?

    I take it with brexit, it's not worth buying from UK sites either due to customs.

    the cyborg are not the greatest gaming laptop . yes you have to buy online now and ship from europe or china to get any value . and sales on the lenovo site and places like that are the way to go .

    there can be large prices differences as you go up in specs 15 percent or more

    Usa prices are a lot lower compared to europe also
