The first generation of gaming laptops were, in a word, excessive. While they packed the computing power necessary to game on the go, they were often big, bulky, noisy and sported obnoxious, gaudy design. In other words, they’d look pretty out of place in a boardroom meeting.
Football fans across the world have had to live in a reality where the only balls they’re seeing on a daily basis aren’t as pert or perfectly round as they’d like, but that could all change with the possible return of the sport in the first week of June.
