Laptops are just as bad as tablets for gaming. Unless you actually hook up a real mouse and keyboard to your laptop.

No, they all have keyboards and mice! I know a trackpad isn't idea, but it works fine in many many games, just no an FPS or something. 

You can of course forget about this because you can conncet controlers to both. For my tablet, you can just connect a DS 3 and I have a wired Xbox 360 controller for my PC. The great advantage of a laptop is of course STEAM and the much better games avaliable for the platform (and mine has enough power to run even the newest games on medium at least)

I'm sorry I just hate the trackpad/ balls or whatever the hell is there instead of a real actual mouse.  Try playing SC (or any FPS, RTS game) with a trackpad then get back to me.  If you say you can then you are playing against dumped down AI or shitty players.   Hell, I'd probably blow up a laptop trying to play Civ on it with a trackpad.

I agree, the trackpad on any laptop really doesn't cut it for gaming, even for those simplistic online flash games. I've been gaming on laptops for the past 7 years and I always use a mouse for it.

Having said that, i'm much more comfortable with the Keyboard of a laptop than on a normal computer, especially with the one of my current laptop, as there's a very nice spacing between keys and a good depression feedback. Plus, my laptop can run any game currently released so I'm good with it. 

OT - It's a shame that SimCity is going with the Internet Connection to play way, but sadly that's going to become the norm in the future.
