My mom likes to play No Man’s Sky and Valheim, but her Asus TUF started freezing on games. RMA found no problems and sent it back to her but it still happens. I ordered a Legion for her but now I see these posts about all Nvidia 40-series laptops freezing up. What’s a gaming mom supposed to do?

Maybe get a Steamdeck if portability is important, otherwise get a desktop. IMO gaming laptops don’t last as long because of all the heat stress. Really just my opinion though.

*Funny, just seen this other post on Beehaw about valve selling refurbished Steamdecks. Just thought I would share just in case.

Getting a portable screen is also dead cheap. It ain’t a bad option at all.

I’m not sure about Valheim, but I can vouch that No Man’s Sky runs well on Steam Deck.

Valheim too, even better than NMS, in my opinion.
