Hello,

I search a good gaming laptop and a VR heaset to play some game like Beat Saber, but the VR headset need to be easily movable, and the laptop not to heavy.

I'm going to use it to play with friends on some event, or when I moving for my jobs.

Thanks 🫡

My SurfaceBook 2 runs Beat Saber well using Quest 2 and Steam Link. It has a GTX 1060, if that helps. Huge grain of salt because I have not tried it since switching to Linux.

The official Steam Link app doesn't work with Linux as the streaming source right now. So you need to use something like ALVR, which I was told is quite hit and miss.

Damn, that's unfortunate. Is that even the case with the Vive or other headsets?

No, Vive and Index work ok on Linux, but they are not mobile like the OP asked for since they require base stations.
