Should I get a gaming laptop or desktop?

midnitesun

I am looking to invest in a new PC and I'm not sure whether I should get a laptop or desktop. I want a decent PC that'll last me at least a while. It should be able to run games like Minecraft and TF2. And I also prefer a PC with Windows 7, not 8. I also don't want to spend over $1,000 and am not looking to build a custom desktop sine I have no experience whatsoever.

Laptop...

PROS:
- It's portable and I can move it around my small house whenever needed

CONS:
- To get a powerful laptop, it'd be more expensive than a desktop with equal components


Desktop...

PROS:
- It'd be cheaper to buy a powerful desktop than laptop

CONS:
- I wouldn't be able to bring it on trips due to monitor portability

Also, I am currently looking into the $699 Alienware X51 and looking for a $0-199 12"-22" monitor that has an HDMI input. And if I were to get a laptop, I'm looking into HP pavillions and stuff like that.

All suggestions and buying tips are helpful.
Thank you :)
EDIT: I'm not looking into an Alienware laptop because it would end up being well over $1,000 which I want to stay under

Answer
For gaming, a laptop is rarely the answer.
You can find laptops which allow for and upgraded video card. You would have to research laptops which have that option and check the performance scores of the card you can add/switch to against those required for the games you will play.

If buying HP, I strongly recommend the ProBooks and Elitebooks over the Pavillions. The former are excellent, well-built machines with native US support where as the Pavillions or consumer line machines are support by whichever contracted call center gets the call anywhere in the world, usually India.

Asus offers some machines they rate for gaming, and theirs would be less expensive than Alienware, without a doubt. It's a little more than your mentioned price limit, but Amazon has the ASUS G75VW-AS71 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop new for $1199.

SUGGESTION ON MID RANGE GAMING LAPTOP?

mehak Gill

I want i5 processor (turbo-boost), 4gb ram and 1gb nvidia graphics either gt540, gt555, gt445 or any higher class vedio card.

Price should be between 35000 rs to 40000 rs (india).
I want it latest price in indian market.

Answer
LOL for 'gaming laptop'! And worst is you are looking for a mid range.. To be honest, its pointless to spend on any 'gaming laptop', they are just disappointment in gaming no matter how much you spend on them.. Even the most expensive i7 based 'gaming laptop' can not outperform a much lower priced i3 desktop with a dedicated gfx.. So if ur in gaming, get a capble desktop do not waste your money on 'gaming laptop'.. Its not just the processor and size of graphics card memory that give you perfomance.. Components used in all laptops are crappy and slow so that they can run on that lil power and its a complete waste if you are accepting gaming.

I need some laptop advice?

Q. I am looking to buy a laptop but have found that reviews online are mostly about how how easy it is to use websites rather than how well the laptop preforms.
One I was researching was the MSI GX60 3AE-216US. It is about $1300
but is it worth the price?
And if not, what else is there that gives great graphics and processing for a big time gamer.
This is my selling point. I need to get a laptop soon, (for college) but I have some money saved up because I want a great gaming laptop, not a crap only-microsoft word-laptop. I really want great graphics, but not if they disable performance and cause large lag spikes.
Please help a gamer out. I have been researching for a year, and don't want my money to go to waste.
(I know desktops are better, but I need a laptop so don't suggest desktops, I need something portable because I travel a lot too. On that note weight is no issue and 15" is the smallest I will go in screen size)

Answer
If you are willing to play games at medium graphics quality, then you need these spec:
intel i3 3rd gen 2.4 Ghz, 1GB graphics card avg graphics card, 4gb RAM (at least 1333Mhz speed).

One of the cheapest laptop for this is Samsungs one:
http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/pc-peripherals-printer/notebook/essential/NP300E5X-S03IN

I'm not sure if this is available in your country though. But, anyways, In India, it is Rs 33000. 1$ =60rupees. Since all laptops are produced in china, assuming same import tax, in your country it may cost you around 550$.

So, you should expect to find a laptop for less than 600$ that give decent gaming experience.

However, if you need Ultra high end graphics (IMHO, I don't realise what is there so much about graphics. I believe good games are the ones that has good story/action and medium graphics withot lag is good enough), then you need these specs:
i7 quad core (some i7 are dual core. Be careful) 3Ghz, High end graphics card with clock speed at about 800Mhz, and 2GB memory- dedicated, RAM of 6gb @1600Mhz clock speed. Rest all is up to you.
This should cost you at least 1300$ as high end graphics card is costly.

For High, not ultra high graphics, go for i7 quad or dual @2.8-3.0 Ghz, RAM 4GB @1600Mhz, medium graphics card (about 500-600Mhz), with 1 Gb memory.
This should cost you around 800-1000$
Go to ebay or other shopping sites and sort out your laptop by ticking the check boxes about the features you want. And select the laptop on the basis of lowest price for given specs.

*Note*
Don't buy appe PC at any cost if you care about "value for money"- mac is overpriced. (performance may be good but not worth the cost)

I'm planning to buy a new laptop for my son here in India but can't seem to know where to buy, any answer will be appreciated.

Answer
I just purchased an Acer Aspire 4310NWXCi online. I got it for only Rs.24,990.00.

The price of a laptop depends on the specification that you want. You may get a low price but it has a lower specs. May I ask is this for gaming or personal use only? What brand do you prefer?

What si the difference between these laptops?

Guille

I was checking Dell web page and notice that the Inspiron 14z and the XPS 14 are pretty alike, I do not know why there is that difference in the price. I want to buy a laptop and I was aiming for the XPS 14 but noticing how alike are those 2 which one should I buy. (I m a college student, that don't play high resolution game, maybe a massive online game)

And what do you say about a HP Folio or Envy, I had bad experience with HP my battery stop working after 15 months, so I am not comfortable looking for a HP, but I will appreciate any feedback.

Answer
Dell sucks, it's the worst computer manufacturer ever...
Dell is very popular amongst uneducated consumers, especially in the US and India, but a piece of crap nonetheless.

In fact, you should never shop for laptops by brand only, just compare specs vs price and get the best you can afford.
Very solid brands are Lenovo (formerly IBM), Toshiba, ASUS, Acer (formerly Gateway and eMachines), Sony Vaio, Fujitsu and even HP (which now includes Compaq too).

I am looking for an efficient laptop which should work for games and has decent portability?

best gaming laptops with price in india image

On my mind right now is alienware's m14x are there any other laptops at the same price range? Rs79k-Rs86k

Answer
Dell is overpriced typically for what you get, and Alienware is just another Dell now. Instead look at the specifications. Besides which, a 14 inch cannot get the airflow cooling for a decent reliable system
Check the GPU+CPU, RAM, HDD.
The graphics is a GT 555M. It is the same one used in the US version of Lenovo Ideapad Y570 as a 15 inch, only the add more GDRAM.
Look for a 15.6" Asus or Toshiba Gaming with a GTX560M if it is in the same price range
I wonder how much this would be shipped to India and what electrical adaptor would be needed:
http://www.amazon.com/Republic-Gamers-G53SX-DH71-15-6-Inch-Gaming/dp/B005PAJHU4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1324536151&sr=1-1
US$1390 = 73350 INR
Shipping $138 = 7300
Not sure of customs duties but looks in range I think Duties are 11400 or slightly more
It puts it a little over your range because of the India gov't
2.2 GHz Intel i-7 2670QM Quad Core
12 GB DIMM
750 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch Screen, Nvidia GTX 560M 2GB GDDR5
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 560M 2GB
LCD Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Not sure what Dell gets in India for it. Alienware in US
Only 8GB RAM. GT 555M 3G which is inferior
LCD 14" instead of 15.6, and only 1600x900 resolution
Dell gets $1649

What are the best laptop brands currently?

best gaming laptops with price in india image

JN

A brand other than Apple. I think Toshiba, Lenovo, and Acer might be good but I'm not sure. I'm currently looking for a new laptop to replace my old one, but my budget is no more than around $700.

Answer
Apple is generally the best hardware, and ridiculously high in price for the performance. Thinkpad T series is next. Then the rest of Thinkpad line. Then probably MSI who designs and builds their own. Asus partners with their former subsidiary Asustek. Ideapads have a goal of value in audio-video, but do not compete on gaming at all. Almost everything else in the industry is designed and manufactured by companies like Wistron and MSI, and Asustek, and Quanta and Compal, and I think HonHai-Foxconn is getting into it, and maybe Flextronics. What you buy is a brand name, and how much testing they require. HP bought Compaq and reduced their design work and are now just a big Acer who slaps labels on the OEM products. Dell does some internal testing and is more strict about what is used, but are priced too high. Not sure about Samsung, but they have a small market share.
I can suggest what I do in recommending.
1) Look at the latest reliability/service survey: http://www.pcworld.com/article/211402/reliability_and_service_laptops.html
HP is at the bottom. Dell is lower than they should be. (You could also search for Dell settlement of New York State lawsuits. They cheated customers.). Lenovo product lines are very different from each other.
2) Decide the size you want.
3) Be ready to measure CPU+Graphics. Although not the most complete nor 100% accurate, I use http://www.cpubenchmark.net/
4) Watch for the hidden info. Gigabit vs 10/100 ethernet. size and weight. HDD speed. Web Cam megapixels. Audio speaker brand. Keyboard features.
5) Choose one. I often start with an on-sale Lenovo Ideapad like the Y570 or Y470 for a 15" or 14". They gives a premium audio, some extra features, midrange CPU. Often a decent graphics IC. Then find another system and compare the two. I recently worked off-line to make a recommendation to a college student in Quebec. Checked Lenovo, Toshiba, Newegg, Tigerdirect, Amazon for the best laptop at around $750. I allowed for all brands but used details of features. It was down to an on sale Y570 (15") and an Asus refurbished 17" about 8 months old gaming laptop. The Asus won as a better CPU, Graphics, and matched or beat specs otherwise. He did not mind that the PC weighed about 8 pounds and is 2 inches thick, and is taking the chance on only a 3 month warranty. Every other $750 laptop had at best Class-2 GPUs. Usually there were other weaker features. The Y570 had a GT 555M. I found good $600 PCs also, as non-Lenovo. So, start at Lenovo.com and find the best Ideapad that meets your budget on sale, and then try to beat it. You can post your top 3. I do not state to buy Lenovo. I say compare it using all the specifications. You need to state your country to know pricing and available stores to buy them. I priced for India, Canada, and UK, as well as USA. Lenovo Essentials = Acer = Dell = HP = Toshiba more or less. You are buying only label+customer service+how good they are at specifying a product for design. HP uses the same shell too often. They throw in an Intel i7 in a system designed for i3 cooling.

Which brand of laptop is cheap & best and is available in India?
