Gaming Laptops

[KamoSoldier]

I need to know about gaming laptops;

• Good idea?
• Match up to desktop's power?
• Best ones
• Where to get them

Gaming laptops are typically not a good idea because they are larger and bulkier than normal laptops, tend to overheat easily, not easy to overclock, etc.

Usually they are way overpriced compared to a desktop because all the parts are specialized for it. The cooling isn't that great either. Then if you want to upgrade it, it is kind of a pain and you have to find the "laptop" graphic cards which most of the time they wont have the card you want for a laptop.

much cheaper to just go to local stores and newegg etc in order to buy components to build your own desktop

if you do decide to get a gaming laptop...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220483

that is the best bang for your buck that you will probably find. (I am getting one soon!)

I'm going to have to say that a gaming laptop is not the way to go. I have a Gateway Fx 6860, and i love the thing to death, but the main problem is over heating you can't find a cooler that is powerful enough to keep it running. I ended up cooking the graphics card and had to send it in for repairs (still under warrenty ). But if you are set on a laptop then i would check out Bestbuy.
