I use a laptop with a quest 2 for vr when we are 5th wheeling at the aging in-laws..

It's a MSI configured with a 4070 card..

As the in-laws acreage is in the boonies we use starlink for a very usable internet connection   

The daily setup and breakdown of the hotas in the 5th wheel king bedroom..same as in my sig..is taxing but worth it..usually 

AH plays great with this setup

Howdy Eagler, 
How about the overheating after many hours using it at AH or the noise from the laptop ?
Also, are you link the VR via wifi or cable ?
Thanks

I am limited to an hour a day to play AH so not sure how it handles hours of play..

I have to keep it plugged into power as it's tough for battery only..

I hear the laptop rev up while playing which does heat up the 5th wheel bedroom during that hour by a few degrees so there's that..

https://a.co/d/09lmoL6Z I purchased this for the heat but don't have to use it for only an hour of playing..

I use the link cable when I play with the quest 2..

I played on a laptop with a 3060 back in the day and it worked fine. AH3 really doesn't need as powerful of a GPU as some of those other sim. Good Luck

Thanks Hazmat
My intentions and concerns are using a laptop and the VR MEAT 3QS in AH. For  instance :

1. The head device will be connected to the laptop via cable ( assuming the laptop has a C-Port 3.0 or higher ) or using a Wi-Fi assuming the network is 6 or 7 Ghz ( using AirLink )

2. The heat the laptop generates using so many resources for hours. Will it damage the device or malfunction ?

Uff , some worries when you plan to spend so much money

The make cooling stands you can place your laptop in while you’re gaming if you’re worried about temps getting too high, they won’t break the bank either can get one for $40-$100 bucks.

With a battery pack its about 3.5-4 hours of play. Doesn't get too hot.

A couple things worth noting.

Here are the specs on my laptop:
Mytrix GF65 by_MSI Thin 3060 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144Hz Display, Intel Core i5-10500H, GeForce RTX 3060 6GB, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, USB-C, Wi-Fi 6, HDMI, Backlit, Mytrix_HDMI Cable, Win 10

I used a quest 2 to play AH3 connected with a usb cable. It only had 4 USB ports so I had to use the smaller USB cable to connect the VR headset.

The laptop would not charge the battery when playing AH3 as it was using all the available power to run the game. I suspect it would have killed the battery right quick if I had tried to run it without the power supply.

If I had to do it again I would not buy a think style laptop for gaming. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought this one other then it seemed like a good deal at the time.
