Hi Craig,
I see you're looking into your MSI GL75 setup. With an i7 9750h and GTX 1660, it's a solid machine for gaming or productivity. However, the fan noise and heat can be issues, especially in less-than-ideal cooling environments.
If you're considering keeping it, it might be worth checking if upgrading the cooling system (like better fans or a cooler) could improve performance and comfort. Alternatively, selling it could give you more value, especially if you have other gear to pair with it.
Let me know what you think!
Best,

You likely chose a laptop because of its mobility. While desktops offer quieter operation when built properly, they’re limited to desk use.

It seems 144hz isn't significantly better than 120hz. It might not be a great deal unless size matters. Are you wondering if your laptop lacks a DVI port? When comparing laptops to desktops, think about the potential for selling it and what projects you could make with the money. Generally, desktops tend to offer better value in terms of price and performance if travel or space isn't an issue.
it doesn't seem to have a displayport output, though it should function if it does. I understand you're considering a desktop because of your existing monitor setup and the convenience of not carrying a laptop. why did you choose a laptop instead?
