idk if my laptop can run pcvr games... is there any things I could do to make it run better?
I also don't get what any of the things really mean, so if I could get any pointers that would be great too
#Is there anything I should do?

Your laptop can not run pcvr games because you have an igpu. But the problem is that you can do sth to upgrade it because it is a laptop. The only way to be able to play vr is to buy a new pc or a standalone device like the quest 2 or 3

Bro you don't have an actual gpu like, you can't run VR without a gpu 💀

Yeah, that's what I thought lol

Apparently there is external gpus now, but you would need usb c port on the laptop

Huh, it does have one

No no no, sorry it has a USBC port, so it could use a external gpu

I could buy one, but I am saving up for a VR headset in the first place...

I heard of it and seen it before, try so hard to find it again

U can't just buy thunderbolt 4, it has to be built in. Just get the headset first but your PC is stjll not compatible
And also external GPU are overpriced af, would just build a PC with used part imo
remote arrow
Eh, at least I am getting a headset
I ain't gonna make a new computer just to run VR

Damn adlink I don't think sells it in the US. That probably wouldn't be that expensive sense you dont need to buy a pcie to usb c and a gpu

What would a PC that could do that cost?

well if you would wanna get a new pc, how much are you willing to pay?

Well how cheap could I do it to make it at least run good?

For laptop maybe $500-600. But that gives you a gtx 1650 4gb

Eh, I do have a computer but it's like 8 years old and can't run no man's sky... So I don't think that would work either
