I'm a junior in college, I enjoy gaming but don't im very much. It will be used for shcool some but mostly for fun. I do not travel that much but i can see how convienent it would be to take a laptop with me wherever I go. other than convience what are the pros and cons of both?
I have had personal computers in the past that were hand me downs, so this will be my first brand new one. all advice will be appriciated.
Laptops or home computers? School starts in two weeks, I am torn between the two and I need help choosing.?nortan
If you want to game on a laptop, it will cost you $2,000+ and it will EAT batteries die to the graphics card.
You can build a seriously fast gaming PC for $800 through newgg.com.
$76 - Penitum e2140 (uses the Core 2 chip design)
$40 - 120mm heatsink / fan for the CPU, lets you overclock from the stock 1.6ghz to 2.8ghz+
$130 - Gigabyte P35 motherboard (upgradeable to Quad core)
$75 - 2gb DDR2-800 RAM
$250 - Nvidia 8800GTS 320mb video card
$44 - Cooler Master Centurion case
$80 - 320gb Seagate SATA hard disk
$85 - 500watt+ FSP, OCZ, Hyper, etc. level power supply
$30 - DVD burner
The above will play any game at MAX settings.
It's very easy to put a PC together, I mean do you really think the people on the assembly lines at Dell/HP warehouses are skilled?
