If you want to game buy a desktop. If you want to have a useful laptop for college buy a netbook.

hello crazy, there isnt much compromise between the two carbon has just told you a net book is good for surfing the net trying word documents ect ... and a desktop pc is built for gaming you cant really get a laptop that is built for gaming unless you spend alot more money than that and they are still nothing in gaming compared to a desktop pc mate.

When you're in the shop with two machines next to each other, both $1000 one desktop one laptop...

With the laptop 100% of your cash is going on the fact it's small, stylish and portable, cramming any tech into a small space is hard right. Spec is the last priority. With a desktop 100% of your cash is going on spec, because the dam thing is so ugly they cant charge you for anything else really haha. The point is buying a desktop gets you 1000x the value for money spec wise, so are good for games, but not portable. Laptops lack in spec because all the money went on making it fit in a tiny case they are not for games, they are for if you move your PC around a lot... Horses for courses. That said even if you had endless money, they just don't make laptops that can compete with desktops, they do not exist despite the sales spiel. The ones that try end up looking like a fat kid eating cake so what is the point anyway, they lose all their portability, style, looks etc... all the reasons for buying it in the first place. Also paying stupid money to have a cutting edge PC is one thing but paying stupid money to have a 'trying to be cutting edge' laptop that you cannot upgrade after 6 months when it gets out of date is mental.

Agreed its alot better to buy a computer then upgrade it rather than a laptop.
