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.

Okay, well I can certainly play Total War games, as I don't really bother with the actual battles. But I do just tend to play turn based, or very slow paced games on my laptop, but it is CERTAINLY better than a tablet

I believe it would be possible.  I just simply suck at using trackpads because I have little to zero experience using them (I'v always had desktop computers).  I have never owned a laptop.  So if you play on laptop for a few years then I am sure one can get decent with it.   I would just plainly suck and get pretty annoyed.    You do win the portability contest though.

Fair enough, I am planning on moving to a nice powerful desktop anyway
