I still don't find it enticing enough. There's way too many drabacks. I don't want to put a massive desktop in my living room and use a kb/m on the couch to navigate through an OS not designed to get me into games or streaming apps quicker. Then I'd have to fiddle around to get a DS4 to work, if it does. Then after having spent $1k to get something decent, I have to spend another $1,500 for a laptop because I cannot carry my desktop around. Not to mention that lending a game to someone is a hassle and/or not possible.

Nobody is forcing you to put the PC in the living room or play on the couch. ;)

Why exactly do you need another $1,500 laptop if you have a desktop PC? If it is for mobile work, you need it anyway, so why even mention it in this context? And why does it have to be such an expensive laptop?

It is no rocket science to get a DS4 properly to work with Windows, there are helpful tools that do almost all the work like DS4Windows. Or you just use a 360 or XBO controller.

And of course you can lend PC games to friends. Either physical games without account binding, DRM free games (GOG.com / Humble Store) or via Steam sharing: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-share-your-steam-gaming-library-with-friends-and-family/
