I moved from desktop with GTX1070(and laptop with 1050) to laptop with 3080ti specifically so I can run video games when I'm not running LLM.

My only two regrets is downgrade in RAM(64GB->32GB) and storage(4TB hdd -> 2TB M.2 NVME), but it's not critical.

I thought about upgrading desktop, but it wouldn't be minor upgrade so after calculations it turned out getting laptop is better. ~Year and half later I still think so.
