So, do people who game on PCs and have desktops also buy a laptop? |
I do. For those who want the best of all worlds (Price/performance, power, Portability) I would recommend getting a cheaper (But still nice) netbook with a long batter life, and then a gaming desktop. That way you get both for the same price as a UBER laptop while still beating it in performance and portability.
Of course I myself splurged on a portable gaming laptop as well as a nice desktop. But I would never get one of those 17" "Desktop Replacements." They are completily pointless...

Why are they pointless?
|
For all the reasons I just said. If you want a gaming desktop: get one! It will be half the price of that "Desktop Replacement" and stronger as well. And you can keep the monitor too since it won't be attatched to the machine.
If you want a laptop, get one that is light and lasts longer than 2 hours. Otherwise you might as well not even have one.

The only difference between a laptop and a netbook is that a netbook has a smaller screen, is lighter and is much less powerful. Honestly, unless the few hundreds of grams in weight bother you, there is absolutely no reason to get a netbook.

Weighing a forth as much as a "Desktop Replacement" and having an all-day battery life is massively different. Laptops are meant to be portable in my world (And most other peoples'). I had a bulky laptop, and then I got a netbook (Which are just as fast at everything but gaming) because i needed to be able to bring a laptop to class easily - my god it was so much better. Sell the portable-anchor and then get a desktop - You will be much happier because that is clearly what you really want.
