Alright, :swear:. I've been asked so many times lately, "What's the best laptop for gaming?" or, "I primarily play 3D Games, what type of laptop should I get?" **CKING RETARDS, BUYING A LAPTOP FOR GAMING IS LIKE BUYING A MOTORCYCLE TO TOW A YACHT!!!
Maybe if you have $3-4k to drop...maybe. Desktop > Laptop, for gaming. Tell them to go to Falcon Northwest or Alienware and look at the prices...maybe even Dell. *insert dell dude quote*
Even so, I'd like to see a $4000 laptop even try to go head-to-head against a $1000 desktop! Besides, these are all people who aren't even going to move the systems around... I guess they just want the novelty of a laptop. Shit, you can build four nice gaming systems for the cost of *one* damn "gaming" laptop, and each of those systems will still outperform the laptop hands down!
Even so, benchmark 7200 RPM HDD access speed & transfer rates against a desktop, say, 7200 RPM Seagate Barraccuda. You'll see what B is talking about.
Thats funny i get asked the same thing by my freinds all the time. So you know what i did i saved my money and went out and got myself a Alienware laptop to show them what gaming laptops are like. Then i showed a good good freind of mine the laptop and he liked it so much that he bought it from me right on the spot. I got the laptop for around $2200. It would of cost me $3000 but i did not tell him. So he bought it for $3000 and he had no idea that i only paid $2200 for it. It was the best money making deal ever.
In the beginning I also thought that perhaps, if enough money is spend, one could get a Laptop for gaming, but after reading the reviews and power requirements for todays cards, and comparing them with Go's and Mobility Video cards, I understood that it was an impossible task.
