unless you really want the mobility, which you'll still not have seeing as gaming laptops weigh as much and are as large as a small car, i'd go for a regular desktop :smile:

laptops can't be upgraded as easily either, so you'll probably be stuck with it forever

*Resurrect Thread*

At the moment I am looking for something similar in the 1.5k area.

I have almost convinced myself that this is what I want

http://www.kobaltcomputers.co.uk/g870_s ... ations.php

Its based on a barebones sold by Clevo. There are a few resellers in the uk. Novatech and Rock being two of the more well known ones.

In the States and Canada it gets sold under the Sager and Eurocom brands I think

I would prefer a desktop (oh the sweetness that could be had that price) but I need to be able to put it in a bag if and when I move
