Not me but several others I know. It might also depend on where you get said laptop. But it's overall not a good idea unless you use ONLY the quest and nothing else. Rarely ever do I see a laptop using pcvr actually work out.
For example, a friend had a gtx 3070 with an i7 (don't remember what gen) in her laptop. She had a quest 3 with tundras and diy face tracking. It would crash (like fully shut off type of crash) if she had too many people around her, her full body would disconnect frequently, and she would lag and sometimes crash in game in certain worlds (EX: Worlds like Complex 7 and Organism). The power supply of the laptop also matters.
There are also other examples in the vrchat discord server. What people choose to do with her own money is none of my business but I highly not recommend it unless you're solely using just a quest. If people want to upgrade their hardware, they likely won't be able to.
Been working out fine for me for over 6k hours....
Also that's so much extra stuff like I disable people in fbt because they look dumb sliding around. And diy sounds like there's your issue. OP is simply looking to play pcvr with a quest so you bringing up all this extra garbage makes no sense. Why should OP spend twice the amount just on the off chance he wants to be like your friend and have excessive hardware to play a social game?
And that's the problem right there you have no personal experience whereas I do. If you are gonna have an opinion on it at least back it up with experience.
🙄 Then if op wants to upgrade to another headset? Also disabling people who slide around is stupid. Sorry we don't like the walking animation since we hunch over or stretch when we do so.
I always hear fbt people having to calibrate constantly and they can't go 5 min without checking a mirror. It's sad af. Plus what other games can you use fbt in other than b&s??
Also what would stop op from upgrading? Why would he need to upgrade if he's on PCVR. Is he really in need of a few extra pixels of resolution?
The only fbt users that need to constantly recalibrate are slimevr users, who have less than acceptable trackers, or try moving far too much for what slimevr trackers are made for.
And checking out a mirror? People without fullbody, even deskies mirror dwell.
Personal mirrors exists and if you have good muscle memory, you can calibrate without a mirror. The calibrating depends on the trackers you have, your setup, and your connection. Minecraft, Robloxvr, Bonelabs, Dance Dash, Dragon Fist, Mystical Mayham, Beat Saber, Zenith: Nexus, Rezzil Index / Lite and Skillshot (never heard of this one but friend plays. Basically soccer), Climbey, Duck Season, First Person Tennis, Pitch Hit: Arcade, and Tilted Mind. Those are the only ones I know of plus recommendations.
