This is why laptops for gaming are no good.

I have had a laptop for gaming but it just didn't seem to run to well on COD4 or other games. While, this is what happened to it:

I agree, thats why I have a Gateway 7026 Gaming Desktop.

lol, no, I just put nitro glisten on it and lit it on fire. It only have 250mb of RAM and a 10mb graphic card.Davyvfr

That picture was the actual laptop with only a 10 or 16MB graphic card. Either way, it didnt run to well.

I disagree. My laptop is great when it comes to gaming...I've got 2gb of DDR2 with an 8600GTS, and c2d 2.2ghz. It runs everything I play (CoD4, CS:S, WoW, etc.) at highest settings.Ogre_Mage

And I gurantee that cost you a hell of alot more than a desktop would have, it has crap battery and could heat your entire room.

And give it a year and it'll suck as much as an essex girl.

It only cost me $900. But why would you even bother comparing the cost of a desktop to that of a laptop? They have totally different functions in terms of mobility. Yeah, and a year from now when I'm still playing WC3, SC, and WoW I won't be seeing much of a difference in terms of playability. No need to be a complete **** about it though, lol.

They have completely different functions in terms of mobility. But they are both computers. Plain and simple. They might be completely different in terms of mobility but essentialy they are just a desktop crammed into a smaller floorspace.

So yes, I will compare desktops and laptops.

From a purely gaming point of view, Desktop>laptop. Unless ofc you are only interested in playing old games or you can afford $3000 a year to upgrade a completely new lappy.

I thought this would be an outdated question.. well seems we still have to clarify that.

Naw, laptops ain't for gaming. Yes, they are for working (mainly).

You can't really tweak a laptop, it heats a lot, and costs a lot. Of course you can say there are gaming laptops, that's an undeniable fact, Alienware is there. But as long as there will be desktop computers, laptops will never get over them. Nowadays.. there are names for portable gaming. It's called PSP/DS.
