Gaming Laptop Or Gaming Desktop -- Help Me Decide.?

Shahzad

I am confused whether i buy gaming laptop or build a gaming desktop pc.

In Laptop i have selected this.
http://www.ipmart.com.my/main/product/Lenovo,Y,Series,Notebook,Y580,5934,6843,Dawn,Grey,Lenovo,Warranty,,355819.php?prod=355819

Lenovo Ideapad Y580
Processor: Intel® Core⢠i7 Processor 3630QM (2.4GHz, 6MB Cache)
Graphics: Nvdia GTX660M 2G DDR5
Storage: 500 GB HDD
Memory: 4 GB DDR3

In Desktop:
Processor: INTEL CORE i5 3570K 3.40Ghz (6MB CACHE)
Board: INTEL DZ77SL-50K (LGA1155-SND+HDMI+GIGA LAN)
Graphics: Nvdia GTX660 2G DDR5
Storage: 500 GB HDD
Memory: 4 GB DDR3

Compare both which one will give better performance in gaming.

Gtx660m is good or Gtx 660?

Thanks.

Answer
The desktop 660 should still be a little faster than a notebook 680M. Obviously the price difference between an equal desktop/notebook is around double.
The notebook 660M will be around half as fast as a desktop 660.

I strongly advise sticking to desktops for gaming unless you are rich. The GPU is most important and they can't be upgraded in a notebook. Gets very expensive to keep buying a notebook, when a desktop can just have the GPU replaced and the cpu overclocked when the cpu can no longer keep up with new GPUs..

Desktop or Laptop for an IT Student?

Jr

Hi, i'm a second year IT student here in the Philippines, i'm confused if what computer should I buy that suits to my need as an IT. My budget is 50k php or 1162 usd. I will be using it for programming, graphic works (cs5) and gaming. Thanks

Answer
For gaming and graphics editing a desktop is always better.
If you need mobility (to carry it around) than a laptop is recommended.
Don't know the prices in Philippines, but for $1162 you can get a very good desktop or a fairly decent laptop in the US.

Either way, make sure it has dedicated graphics (a discrete graphics card - nVidia GeForce or AMD-ATI Radeon HD), not integrated graphics (Intel HD) and an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor with at least 4GB of RAM.

I would recommend a computer with a NVIDIA GPU if your looking into gaming.

Answer
Comodores, Ataris, and early AT's ran on ANSI graphics. This meant 16 colors (if you even had a color monitor) as those were by far more expensive than they are now. The first color monitor I bought was $400 which would be nearly $1000 in todays money. And alot BBS's were not in color anyway. They did not have internet then, it was just getting started.

To get around the color issue, most would hook up to a TV set. There was no real call for a color monitor unless you had VGA graphics with 256 colors, and this was not common until until the vary late 80's or early 90's. Then a photo would actually look something like a photo, rather than a cartoon.

Until the internet got off and running people would dial into a BBS with a phone modem at 300 baud. When the speed finally got up to 14.4 it was a big leap, because now the print actually appeared on your screen nearly as fast as you could read it. Imagine having to wait for each word to appear on your screen one by one, how frustrating that must have been. Yet we were having fun, we thought it was a miracle.

Early BBS was one user at a time. You would sign on, write something, and then get off so someone else would write something.

The first PC's, many of them, did not have a hard drive. The operating system ran on system memory, all 640 or 128k of it. A floppy would only hold 300k, but was actually enough to run several Arcade style games, or a pretty sophisticated word editor. I say sophisticated because you could do alot more with it that than with an IBM Selectric, and that was great news. Hook this up to a dot matrix printer which was so noisy you could not use it and talk on the phone at the same time, and you could really increase your productivity. But you were still limited to only one font.

The mouse and GUI were no where to be seen. This, and the internet in large part were not around until about 1993. Until then computing was all DOS commands. You would play a game using the arrow buttons, etc

To boot up your computer would take around 4 minutes. Faster, if you had a hard drive, then maybe only two minutes. The typical hard drive was 20 or 30mb and cost around $300, so many folks did not have one. $300 then would be over $600 today.

Generally speaking it was an expensive hobby that really did not do very much. If I had to pick out one thing that stands in my mind, it was that you only had one font. But another thing that sticks in my head was that back then people would write a program in about 50k what and nowadays a similar program takes up to 50meg.

And some of the Arcade games were actually quite good, considering. There is still a bit of a nostalgic fan club for the early Atari games. Also, people who used to run some of the early BBS boards are still well remembered

Edit. I just remembered that no discussion of this would be complete without mentioning OS/2, link below

Can anyone suggest me a best laptop under 40k to 50k for a college boy who loves gaming too?

Vijay

Answer
http://www.alienware.com/

Even though I normally do not suggest Alienware, with the right amount of money, Alienware is good. With your budget, you can get and Alienware m18X (18 inch screen) with 2 Nvidia GTX 675m Graphic Cards (Amazing for a laptop and will beat most desktops) and the top of the line processor. However this will be a heavy laptop. If you want less heavy you can go for a m17x or an MSi computer.
