Proving that he is an idiot, once again... I give you the one and only... Pentagwam:
As someone who knows a little bit about computers, I feel obligated to tell everyone that laptops are generally more expensive and perform worse than the equivalent desktop computer.
No exceptions whatsoever. And even if there was (such a laptop), it would definitely be a piece of shit that breaks more easily than Soph's girly balls.
And also, ANYONE who buys one of them so-called, overpriced "gaming laptops" are truly fucking idiots. No exceptions either.
As someone who's seen his share of idiots, I feel obligated to tell you that you are an idiot.
Okay, then...
Find me a pre-built laptop under $1,000 whose overall performance is equal to or superior to my desktop computer.
Here's my computer specs-
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (dualcore 2.5Ghz)
Memory: 3GB DDR2 RAM
HDD: 320 GB
Graphics: EVGA-branded Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1GB (will be upgraded to 460 GTX 768MB soon)
Would be easy enough... if it weren't for my dedicated graphics card.
And as far as the "take it with you" issue goes, I have an Asus eee PC netbook, so there goes that argument.
Do you understand what this thread is about? Do you understand why one might choose a laptop instead of a desktop? Who ties your shoelaces every morning?
In my opinion, if you need more computing power than what a typical netbook can provide, then buy a fucking desktop. It's usually cheaper and better to have both a rather powerful desktop AND a cheap laptop, then investing in a high-end laptop that might fall short of your performance expectations and only last 1 and an half hour unplugged.
Do the fucking math. Do you really need to play Crysis or video editing everywhere you go?
In my opinion, you are still a fucking idiot. You did not get what this thread is about, did you?
as far as i can tell the thread was started asking how you work on your laptops, for the record i personally lay in bed with it on my lap. it is called a LAPTOP for a reason after all
also i choose a laptop as its close to a desktops power with anything but gaming and movie editing... but if i really needed to do those things i would build a desktop.
for the record odeon im sure you could build that desktop with double the ram for way under 1000$ CAD. so that makes it between 1080$ and 980$ us depending on the markets
