Hello folks, I got a Legion Go S 8ARP1 about a year ago now. I was really hyped as I had never had a proper gaming thing before, always using the family computer playing Need for Speed Most Wanted, as that was the only game it could run (and I cared to play). I sat down and opened the box and used it. I have never been punched in the face harder my disappointment.

I had done no research before buying it, I don't even know why. It keeps me up at night, don't know why I even wanted one. But the problem still faces me today, This things performance makes me sad.

Setup:

PC: Legion Go S 8ARP1
CPU settings: SPL: 25 SPPT: 30 FPPT: 35
Ram: 16 GB (Shared with VRAM: 5GB)
Storage: 512 SSD + 512 HDD
Monitors: 1x 1920x1080 280hz + 1x 1920x1080 60hz
Inputs: Keyboard + Mouse + Headset (Built in Mic)

Performance has been so bad, here's my data I have gotten.

Team Fortress 2 (Medium Settings, Full screen: 55-100 FPS)
- This one is annoying, as my laptop gets about the same frame rate.
The Finals (Lowest, Full screen: 45-50 FPS)
- I’m actually fine with this one. (also CPU issue)
Minecraft: Java Edition (16 Chunks, low settings, Sodium, Full screen: 50-160)
- This flutters a LOT! Super unstable.
Apex Legends (Everything Lowest, Full screen: 40 FPS and never worked again)
- Game ran once, then put me in a infinite pending queue.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X (All low, Full screen: 100 FPS)
- Fine with this one too.
Rocket League (All lowest minus rendering, Full screen: 120 FPS)
-This one is okay.

Now, I know a lot now then I did, these are pretty standard charts. But I am greedy and I want more. But I need the facts.

Should I buy a Gaming PC, or get an EGPU?

I'm a broke high school student, so I don't have too much money to work with, but I can make sacrifices. AI told me I should use:
AOOSTAR AG01 OCuLink eGPU Dock +RX 6600
BUT AI has mislead me in the past, which is why I’m asking Reddit. Please give constructive feedback, as I am only new. Everything is in Australian dollars. G'day Mate.

I think i need more beacons... currently not many.

Hello smart wizards of Reddit. I live in a very rural town in Australia so we don't have access to regular internet, we have invested in Starlink and it's been great (although dont like elon Yada yada yada) and we have built a shed down at the bottom of the hill. It's a big man cave, but obviously it needs internet, but the starlink is at home. Instead of dragging the starlink back and fowards we bought a bridge.. a "EAP211-Bridge KIT" by TP-Link.

Now i have never used a bridge. Not my area of expertise apparently. We got it hooked up to the TV but the trouble is we want more than our TV, I'm assuming I need some sort of Router, My current download at home is 300mbps (give or take), the range is not crazy long and its a clear, unobstructed signal. The connection speed doesn't need to be crazy fast, but I would be interested in finding a router that is capable.

My budget? Don't really care, but cheaper is better, but not cheap so that quality is sacrificed too hard. Do you suggest new or second hand? Does it need to be a specific router compatible with bridges or does any work. Am i a bumbling idiot and talking about the wrong thing?

Anyways, please drop any thoughts and suggestions, open to listen.
