Gaming Laptop Vs. Gaming Desktop -- Pros/Cons?




Twistedbla


Background: So I'm considering getting a $1,500 gaming laptop come this June. I'll be using it for college coming up so I really needed a laptop as well as an upgrade for my current rig.

Pt. 1: What I'm wondering is what am I suffering in buying a gaming laptop rather than a gaming desktop. List pros and cons.

Pt. 2: Being a hardcore gamer (40+ hrs/week) can a laptop handle my lengthy gaming periods?



Answer
Gaming Desktop:

Pros: Cheaper than a similar performing laptop, upgradeable, newer parts/technology always come out for the desktop first

Cons: Not portable.


Gaming Laptop:

Pros: Portable, can offer same performance as a desktop if you have money.

Cons: More expensive than a similar performing desktop, not upgradeable (except for the hard drive), newer parts/technology come out later than a desktop.

A laptop will never on a battery, handle your gaming periods. If you plug it into the wall socket using the provided charger/AC adapter, you'll be fine, of course.


Unless you plan on gaming on the go, I recommend that you just get a mid-level laptop ($500-$700 US) for college and use the rest of your cash to upgrade your current rig or build a new one.

Hello! I'm going back to the US and I've saved money for a gaming laptop!
I'm going to be buying it June-July, so I have time to think about it.
Any suggestions? NO ALIENWARE!
Anything under 2.1 grand (USD)



Answer
The next thing that is close to gaming alienware is the Dell XPS 15 X15L-1024ELS gaming laptop. This is a truly awesome computer. For starters, it's without a doubt the fastest laptop I have ever used. I can literally hit the button to turn it on and be online within 1 minute. It never lags or slows in performance, even when handling 5 or 6 tasks at a time. All of the features on this laptop are state-of-the-art. The speakers truly stand out, they are the best sounding laptop speakers I've ever heard, bar none. Also, the camera on it records in 1080p so you can get some really good quality video just using what comes stock. This is a solid machine that is well worth the price. I strongly suggest it to anyone looking for a state-of-the-art laptop.

If you don't like it, just use the specs from the page as your foundation and go from there.

Good luck on finding your gaming laptop.
