Still can’t play Diablo 3 (or why I hate PC gaming)

Isn't Diablo 3 supposed to be pretty light on minimum PC requirements? Most Blizzard games usually are, just like Valve's stuff.

compared to bf3 and cod or mw yes.

But still wont run on my 2nd gen i3 laptop (only 30-35fps) :( need to run it on my i7 desktop and my friend had to get a new pc for it (but it was a +10year old one)

My laptop that's just over a year old has a 2nd gen i3 as well, but with integrated Intel grafix so I can't play most games on it including Diablo III, yet my 8-year old PC would still (barely) meet the minimum requirements if I were to actually install the game on it, so go figure.

That is why I always preferred desktops over laptops (plus I hate laptop keyboards, trackpads, etc).  Pretty hard to upgrade a laptop while upgrading a desktop is as easy as plug and play (like popping in more memory or video card).

Yeah samehere, I got my current laptop through work for my job, so I never planned on actually using it for gaming.  Eventually I'll buy a totally new PC as my current 8 year old one has already been maxed out upgrade-wise (can't do much more with a P4 3Ghz processor and motherboard circa late 2003).

But with my current laptop I really have no need for an all new desktop, as I do all of my gaming on 360 and probably the Wii U and 720 when they release.  Not enough PC-only games that I'm interested in at the moment to drop a bunch of dough on a modern rig... rather save it for a new console or two.
