It *can* work on a laptop as long as it meets the minimum specs. You *must* have a dedicated GPU and either displayport (very, very rare on laptops) or a USB-C port that both supports displayport over USB-C *and* is connected to the dedicated GPU. HDMI and HDMI -> Displayport adapters will NOT work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not recommend using a VR on a laptop, it needs something above the 20 series to play smoothly. Thats my recommendation but if you do want to try, it should work but idk if it’ll be smooth.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It requires a DisplayPort port, which isn't common on laptops. It connects directly to the GPU. For PC use, it connects to Steam VR, so any hardware requirements for PC I would recommend looking at Valve.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I actually use it with my gaming laptop! Its works fantastic. You definitely a higher end device though for sure. As long as you have something on par with a RTX 30 series laptop gpu or better you should be fine. Even a 20 series would work, but you would definitely have to turn a lot of settings down for good speeds. Just make sure you have a display port connection, sometimes they are usbc ports that have the capability.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Powerful computer, no but I believe the minimum GPU required is a 3070 for VR. I have a 3080 and it does wonderfully
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While you might be able to find a laptop that meets the minimum specs, it'll be darn difficult to find one with a DisplayPort output. It's not clear if it'll work through a converter, and most laptops have HDMI ports if they have anything.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This will work on a laptop as long as you meet the requirement.
