Desktop or Gaming laptop?




Evan


Hello, I have been looking for a good gaming PC for a while now and I was wondering what other people had in mind. I am looking at either getting a gaming desktop or a gaming laptop. My budget is around $1700. I would like something that is able to play any game at high settings at 35+ fps. If anyone has any suggestion please post them, also if you know of any gaming PC sites please post them. Also I have been looking at 2 gaming laptops particularly. The ASUS G74sx-A1 and the Sager np8810 (It's the one with dual GTX 560m's). So if you have any sites/suggestions/ or builds please post them.


Answer
It's good to choose what you want first: A gaming laptop or a gaming desktop.

Get a laptop if you want to take it a lot to other places, like school e.g. But if you're just gonna plant somewhere and barely move it then it's better to get a desktop. Gaming laptops are more expensive, get hotter and obviously have smaller screens than gaming desktops. Choose wisely.

For desktops: For that money you can get any high-end video card from ati or nvidia, like the 6970 or gtx570. Get a high end amd processor or something like an intel i7 and 4-8gb ram with it. That will run any game perfectly.

For notebooks: The laptop with the dual gtx 560m's sounds good to me. Any gaming laptop around 1700 dollars should run any game fine.

Which laptop has the best graphic card and battery life? I will be using it as a "gaming laptop" to take on long trips.


Answer
It's hard to find the right balance of Graphics Card power VS Battery Life, getting more out of one generally means losing out on the other.

If you're looking for a small laptop for long trips then i'd also have to recommend the Dell XPS m1330, it's a decent laptop for gaming and has a good battery life depending on what you're doing.

Now if you really want to blow you're socks off you should go with the Killer Notebook's Executioner SR, the battery life ain't so hot BUT it's easily the best value for money with it's massive screen and powerful graphics card. There's also the Killer Notebooks Odachi which is coming out sometime this month that sports Dual nVidia GeForce Go 7950 GTX in SLi configuration if you're really into having a bleeding edge gaming laptop ;)

But then again if you'll be using the laptop for "long trips" the Killer Notebook options, although awesome, will never last more than an hour off mains power so it might be best to stick with the Dell m1330 (on average 3 hours depending on what you're doing) :)
