As a technology enthusiast i bought an iphone and a tablet PC. NOT a gaming rig.

The desktop PC will be an obsolete product, phones are becoming as powerful as midrange computers, but without the huge size and huge costly power consumption. Modern and future cell phones have 500,000s+ of applications, games and productive office suites.

An example: Motorola Atrix 4g, two 1.2ghz processors and has a laptop/desktop attachment, replacing traditional desktop. I've seen quite a bit of people on the streets using their cellphone as the "brains" of their computers.

Plenty of FUDs coming from ARM camp...

This is comparing the performance of Moorestown to the lower clocked SGX 535 among other GPUs. The performance improvement is more than 2x

Quake 3 running 100 FPS on Intel Atom Moorestown.

Architecturally the 543MP2 has more than twice the compute horsepower of the SGX 535 used in Apple's A4. Each shader pipeline can execute twice the number of instructions per clock as the SGX 535" (1)

yeah go ahead and try to run crysis 2 or witcher 2 at even medium setting on that. the apps for smartphones are great, and some games are entertaining for a while waiting for something or on the way to ****work but i like real games thank you, not your 500k+ versions of angry birds

TC should have gotten a galaxy S2

I have a tablet, pc, laptop, galaxy s 2, and a ps3. Nothing to me is like playing on consoles and PC.

I wanted to comment on this seriously, but then I took an arrow to the knee!

So in other words small = technologically advanced.LOL

LOL!!!

As long as it rakes in the cash, do you really think publishers are going to care that it's casual? If it's more profitable to do so, the people funding game development will jump ship in a heartbeat.lowe0

Who said PCs were on the bleeding edge of technology? they are *far* behind proper workstations used by movie studios. Not to mention speakers, amplifiers, receivers, projectors, cameras etc.

seanmcloughlin

They are when it comes to games. Compare the price of one of those workstations with a Gaming rig and you will see which is the most beneficial to gamers.

PC gaming is dying? That is so original, OMG!

[QUOTE="Krelian-co"]

[QUOTE="SauceKing"]I have always been a tech enthusiast and kept a cutting edge PC. But the reality is, PC gaming is dying. My last gaming PC purchase was a laptop, then i bought an iphone and a tablet computer. Pc gaming is trending towards smaller and more efficient. You arent bleeding edge if you are still outfitting tower cases with enormous graphics cards.... new technology is more compact. It doesnt matter how many cards you have running in SLI, if you own a tower case, you are no longer technologically savvy... you are old, you are behind the times... your giant gaming PC is outdated. Get over it PC gamers, your rig is old, and you are old.... you are a relic. Stop pretending you are somehow on the bleeding edge of technology.SauceKing

this post is so full of bs i don't know where to begin.

pc gaming is not dying, as a matter of fact steam is growing a lot every year. in other topic its been discussed im not gonna repeat myself to a lvl 1 troll.

no gaming laptop is gonna have the real power of a gaming desktop pc unless you are willing to spend $ 4k in a laptop, i usually have my gaming desktop pc for playing and my laptop for working

iphona and tablet pcs don't have any real power to run decent games, they are nice to have and have some fun games but they are a joke to play games in, they are usually used for portable media.

"It doesnt matter how many cards you have running in SLI, if you own a tower case, you are no longer technologically savvy... you are old, you are behind the times..." thats gotta be the most ignorant comment i've read, go to any lan party and see how many go with laptops. In sheer power, desktop pcs destroy everything else.

i don't even know why i answered, you are obviously some kind of pathetic console troll. As a technology enthusiast i love having an updated gaming rig

you realize an ipad2 IS a PC right? You use the PC for the fastest best experience, you use a tablet/laptop for convenience and portability.

Sooo, an iPhone and a tablet PC are more technologically advanced than a cutting-edge gaming rig? Right...

Absolute best PC hardware for a gamer: $11,000 AT BEST. Absolute best cinema equipment: $6,000,000 has been done in KSS with Sony SRX T420, McIntosh amps, Snell THX reference speakers etc. Mozelleple112

It's true there's very high-end A/V equipment. But, what are you implying with these equipment? If these equipment can be hooked up to a console, so it can with a gaming PC. Otherwise, I see no connection between these equipment and video gaming.

Browsing the web on my iPad is a faster and better experience by the way because I don't have to wait for it to boot up. tomarlyn

That'd be true if you compare an iPad to most laptops and you're on the road. At work, a PC is rarely turned off. At home, all my computers are on 24/7. When I need to conserve power, I put them to either sleep or hibernate mode. My main PC takes all of 1 second to wake up from Sleep Mode and another 5 seconds resuming the WiFi N connection. It also resumes right where I left off.

My habits have adjusted as those capabilities improved. Like some have said, the main draw of an iPad for me would be the portability. I'm certainly tempted to buy one.

Good for you mr. alt account.
