PC gaming...?

Guys I was just curious how many of you game on a Desktop or on a Laptop? I just got a new laptop and it can run all the newest titles on high settings. I realize that I will never be able to max out the newest games, but there just seems to be something nice and convienient to be able to game anywhere, anytime! Your thoughts?

99% of laptops aren't meant for gaming, it's a painful experience.

Most people here will tell you that laptops aren't for gaming... and I'm one of those people.

It depends on what games you mean, Sims, Age Of empires, Sim City have always been good on a laptop but FPS will never be the same on a laptop just the screen size would ruin it for me.

Laptops have too small of screens for my taste.

desktop by far
better parts
bigger screens
better keyboard/mice

only advantage laptop has is portability, and if gamers want that, they can get a DS/PSP/ect

Desktop for me. Soo much quicker than a laptop, its cheaper and I can upgrade it easily.

Desktop's are probably better for gaming but I like laptops because you can take them about on the train etc...

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, I got the laptop more out of need than anything else. My desktop while not a pure gaming rig is decent, but I wanted a second computer for our house and didn't really have a spot for another desktop, so I went with the laptop. I dont have any problems enjoying games like ME2, SC2, Half Life 2 and NBA 2K11 on my laptop and even Crysis 2 plays and runs like a champ. However, when I try to play a game that is large in scope like BFBC 2, the small screen on the laptop definitely is a factor.

Desktops, laptops are meant for mobility not gaming

Laptops have the following problems for me (for gaming):

-Awkward keyboard

-Small screen

-Most lack dedicated VRAM

-Cost

Desktops. I dislike the keyboards on most laptops and I don't find mobility worth the price. I also hate how hot they are, and that they are impossible to upgrade.

Desktop by a landslide!!!

It really depends if you know what you're getting into and if you know what titles you want to play specifically.

I always have some older games (Warcraft 3, Torchlight, Morrowind etc) loaded on my laptop. I stick to my desktop for the newer stuff.

Both...But 80% of the time on desktop..Laptops for SC2, WoW, other LAN party games at friends houses.

Depends. If your laptop is powerful enough, then have at it. If you on the go, then a laptop is basically your only option. I have yet to buy a laptop for gaming but once Diablo III comes out I will. I love desktop gaming and even prefer to watch all my movies and shows on my desktop now, so that gets my vote.

Desktop by a landslide!!!
