Meet Chuckles my friendly MR headset holder
My Lenovo Explorer headset finally arrived. (Yippee YAY!!) It looks good, it feels good, it even smells good! :grin: This disclaimer probably invalidates any chance of me winning the oculus rift contest but in order to get advice you'd have to know where I'm coming from. I think Windows MR headsets are better in my opinion than OR anyway so no biggie.
Thing is I bought the headset first before a VR ready computer. This isn't really any sort of oversight on my part, I just really committed into getting a VR headset during the $199 sale during the holidays that I thought I'd try to make it work using registry hacks first then failing that, getting a VR ready computer.
My headset arrived last week and I tried all sorts of bypasses, registry tweaks and etc on my venerable but still awesome surface pro 2 but no dice.
So.... here we are. What's the cheapest computer that you can recommend that's reasonably future proof and that I could use for some light dev work. ( I get computers every 4-5 years or so ).
1. prefer to have thunderbolt 3
2. pen enabled
3. at least 1050ti or can run MR ultra
4. removable battery if possible but not necessary
5. possible discount on getting windows 10 pro instead of just home.
6. at least quad-core.
I was checking out the MSI-gl62m for $699 on the microsoftstore during the spring sale but it quickly ran out of stock before I pulled the trigger ( Regret ). If you know of a deal similar or better, please let me know!
