I have been trying to find an affordable laptop that will link with the oculus quest2 for my son for Christmas. My budget is around 1200. I have found two that might work. Can anyone please help.

The spec on the first one should be mostly fine, although 6GB of GPU RAM is a touch on the low side. 8-12GB is normally reckoned to be the sweet spot. The same may apply to the second, although GPU RAM isn't specified.

 

Does it have to be a laptop though? If your son doesn't need the portability you could get an awful lot more VR processing power from a similary-priced desktop.

He travels between two houses so it's not economical to have two pcs. I truly would prefer pc myself. Thanks for the help. I will look into finding one with more vram with similar specs.
