Only that with VR-sets, the demands are even higher because you're basically driving two high res monitors/displays (one per eye). You won't need a 3080 Ti or 3090 to game in 1080p, but you'll definitely need one of the more high-end cards to drive a 4k monitor. That said: What sort of VR-set do you have/plan to use? It's just like with monitors and comes down to the number of pixels, I suppose. As a general rule, I'd stay away from Alienware, since they have a reputation of being vastly overpriced and over-hyped. Then I'd probably focus on GPU performance and make sure I'd have enough connections to plug in all of my peripherals and the VR-set. I really want to know which laptop to buy and which features to focus on in order for the VR to work best. What do you think your choices are? Can give “free” advice (for what is it worth) after some more info. You sound like you can make some choices. People are right, HOTAS counts as does budget as does travel destination(s).
Said I was going back and forth to cottage to justify the G15 then ended up with the R10 with a big bag, SUV, HOTAS at both ends (very happy with end choice by the way). So for VR I would absolutely recommend the best HOTAS you can afford - or at least the one with the most functions that you can/want to afford. Using individual keys or even key-combos in VR? Forget about it. Re controls: Don't forget that once that thing is on your head, you won't be able to use your keyboard for anything - other than maybe very prominently placed and seldom used keys like ESC, Space-Bar, Cursor-Keys. One way to cut down on this might be the TM 16000 set where you can daisy-chain stick, throttle and pedals together and then connect the whole shebang to the PC via a single USB plug (AFAIK). Plus probably a mouse and an external keyboard.
I reckon you'll need at least a throttle and stick (with a twisty-axis - I'd 100% recommend pedals though, especially in VR) so that's at least 2 USB ports gone - plus your VR-set will need a USB connection (USB-C on some of the newer ones) and DP-connection. Plus you better make sure it has enough USB-ports for your needs. VR is quite demanding when it comes to the GPU. Going to get pretty expensive though if you absolutely need a laptop. You won't be seeing that screen once you have the VR-set on your head. Does it matter the size of the screen with you use VR?
