Sony officially revealed the PS5 Pro, leading some gamers to say they’d rather buy or build one of the best gaming PCs instead of paying $700 for the console. If that sounds familiar, that’s because the same thing happened when the PS4 Pro was announced in 2016. Granted that system didn’t cost nearly as much as the PS5 Pro, but the discussions still centered around getting the most bang for your buck from a gaming machine.
I sympathize with preferring a gaming PC over a PS5 Pro. As I said recently, I’ve been a PlayStation fan for over 20 years but I’m skipping the PS5 Pro because I already own a gaming rig. However, I understand that not everyone can afford a gaming PC or might not have room for a big desktop. Because of that, I think it’s actually better to buy one of the best gaming laptops instead.
