I feel like I see a fair amount of gaming laptops in the US but a majority of people seem to still game on desktop. I guess what I am looking for is a ratio of one versus the other otherwise a country like China might dominate on numbers alone.

When looking for searching online for this I was mostly coming across pros and cons lists. This isn’t what I am after.

    Thank you for responding. This is the kind of information I was after.

    How do you find the used market in Brazil?

    Is there a market for buying traditional office PCs and adding a graphics card like there is here in the US?

      That’s unfortunately not a thing here - offices and schools do not dump, discard or otherwise get rid of old equipment like that. We rarely do full upgrades. Usually they’ll upgrade to new computers only when absolutely needed, and the old one becomes the new secretary PC or a backup server or something. If it can’t be salvaged at all, it’s sold as scrap.

      What is much more common are people riding the AliExpress combo of an Intel Xeon, a motherboard with some weird custom BIOS, and used GPUs.
