HP's New Gaming Laptop Will Outperform Most High-End Desktops

@Sefrix: Who knows, only after release you gonna be able to tell, but it's better build a desktop for gaming than buying a laptop for it.

@jonparkes84: They already caught up, I only said it's bad investment since it will crash really fast.

In case you aren't aware, the on-board motherboard that desktop uses and laptop uses are the same with small differences, laptops have a few more components and the video card is linked directly at it, while desktops uses slots, overall, it's the same, it's because it's the same that it ruins everything, desktop parts are made to demand constant energy supply and creates lot of heat, too much heat damages components and chips, not to mention that desktop can handle multiple hard drives while only few laptops can handle at max 2 hard drives, that will also dies when overheat, all laptops will overheat, no matter the laptop it will overheat, all because they have poor airways to release the heat, even with lots of coolers like the HP one above are useless if they have little and poor airways.

Also, since the parts are basically the same, the desktop will always be superior since you can change video and sound cards, not to mention you can increase memory and put multiples HD's on it.

Laptops aren't bad, but you can't hope to play monster games on it and expect it to have a long life, almost all of these laptop gamers died in a year after bought due overuse, on my eyes this ain't no different of a scam aiming dummy parents who knows nothing of PC and it's parts and wanna give something for their children's to have fun and study.

Again, laptops are bad investment if you wanna play major games on it, only use one if wanna study and watch streaming sites.

@sellingthings: I know ASUS, I have an ASUS, also ASUS is a lot cheaper here on Brazil so mainly use ASUS, my video board runs cold, they're excellent.

Like I said before, cooling ain't just about coolers, but airways and ways to push the hot air out of the machine, liquid based ones are great, but you can't keep moving or shaking a PC with a liquid cooler or it will leak, but if they can create one that can handle moving and shaking, it would drop the chances of losing the laptop due heat in 50%.

Now about battery, I glad you know you can't play a game on battery, but how many people knows that? Most people who goes after these laptops are dummy's who have no idea that playing on battery will kill the laptop and the battery lifespan, in fact, if you see movies, series, propagandas, they popularized laptops as something you can do anything and everything all the time on it, it's basically lies, most of these people have low money and they see these machines as a hope to have a kid play, study and even work on it, they think they're buying and asset that will last years, they're being scammed.

But an upgradable laptop would change that?

No, like I said before, most people who buys laptops like this have little money that they save, a laptop part have more of an artisanal form, they're smaller and harder to be created, also, it will be much more difficult to change parts if they're too small, so they will need someone who can handle it without breaking it.

It might change if the upgradable laptop becomes popular, but that won't happen, most PC users that care about specs are gamers, most PC gamers use desktops, also an upgradable laptop will end like our pre-built desktops, sold with middle to low quality parts only to force you to buy new parts with better quality only making it more, while due he small size the upgradable laptops will be much more expensive.
