Do you own a desktop?

:sigh: people trying to justify their choices and arguing about silly points rather than answering to posts made by whatthefrak, cilus, harshil etc basically this thread is summed up by whatthefrak's posts. Stop the silly arguments :\

Even though alienwares are overpriced, people dream about them and not lenovo gaming laptops. That was my point.

I don't need any justification for my purchase, what grieves me is how much people underestimate laptops.

What about vacations? If you go out then will you wait 2-3 weeks for your "cove"?

if i am on Vacation, technically, i would be on leave from my daily life. and my daily life includes gaming.

so yeah, if i am on vacation, i would take a leave from gaming too.

if you play on your vacations too, you need to take a break, IMO.

Alienware 18 and Euromcom's top model should cost around 1.8 lakhs(excluding import). Both have GTX 880m SLI which is 10% more powerful than the old TITAN. Eurcom even packs a desktop core i7 4770K CPU whereas AW has the core i7 4960XM. That's "i7+titan" equivalent performance. Now considering the total cost of both my laptops, which is round about to 1.8 lakhs, if I were in US one of these could have been in my hands now(But I doubt I'd like something that bulky).

Trains have plug points so you can easily game while in them. Hell even some buses have them too. rickshaw seriously? Oh wait, a rickshaw in Bangalore provides wifi service inside it(google it, there's a TOI article on it), that will probably have plug points inside it too. I have played games in my car too. xD You can actually play quite respectably while on battery.

In some laptops such as Alienwares and Blade, I think you can play with full performance for an hour or two(on blade).

at that cost i'd get a desktop many times more powerful and which would last longer and look better.

i dont think you'd play on the train with your 1.8L whateva lappy. so chill.

Your idea of gaming is is 2-3 hours continuous. Mine is 15 mins. As I said before, in the end it depends on your lifestyle. I don't think anyone needs a break from that kind of gaming. It's very easy to play on trains imo.

Wow, this was a difficult to read thread.

Desktops will be always better than Laptops, period.

Desktop + Tablet is way better combination as it gives you best of both worlds.

So for 15 mins gaming one would buy a 1.8 lacs laptop. Hmmm. Interesting!!!
