I currently have a "VR Ready" ASUS gaming laptop running the old Oculus Rift S. I would like to upgrade this Summer.
I play a lot of VRChat mostly, but also some rythm music games like Synth Riders or Blade & Sorcery for the insane Mods. If I get a new rig, I'll probably get Half Life ALYX.
I'm leaning toward the Valve Index. Since I like social VR in VRChat, the hand / finger tracking might be nice and it seems to work well with other Full Body Trackers. I think I'll get this first just to see if things run better on my current laptop. I think the Rift S software is being kind of neglected.
I currently have the HaritoraX Full Body Tracker which kind of works, but requires SteamVR. The Rift S will not run without Oculus Home so running both that and SteamVR at the same time makes my VR tracking freakout sometimes. It would be great if using the Valve Index directly with Steam helps with this, but when upgrading, I might be open to investing in VIVE Tracker equipment.
Beyond that, sometimes VRChat holds large gatherings like DJ or Club events. Heavily populated worlds overwhelm my laptop. I"m curious about some ideal specs to deal with supporting intense VR experiences.
I'm also dabbling in creating 3D VR content making Avatars and eventually worlds for VRChat using Unity3D.
I would also like to be able to stream or just record VR sessions running OBS or similar software and still have good frames.
