[+REP] Should I sell my PC and buy a laptop?

[Homosexual]

Currently I am contemplating buying a laptop and selling my PC so I can move around the house (it's boring being stuck in your room 24/7 :\) and do work and play games

I was wondering; what is your laptop of choice for gaming and work? The laptop does not need any software (e.g. Microsoft Office) pre-installed as I have the software here :-)

I have a budget of around £500/£600 (depends how much I get for the PC haha) :-)

I am looking for a laptop to (preferably) compete with this/be better than this:



+REP for good suggestions!

Depends on what laptop you get.

Laptops are great in some sense as their portable, what I don't like about them is if you have them on your lap they tend to burn you and ur uno, if I put a pillow under my laptop is shuts down after about 10mins due to it overheating. If I were you I'd keep your desktop it will last longer IMO.



This is my laptop and its slow as ****:

You are not going to be able to get something similar for that price in a laptop.

Depends what you do, I would love to move to a laptop on it's own but unfortunatly I play more games than CSS

Same. I have TF2, HL2, HL1, Bioshock, The Sims 3, Dead Space...

OK, I'll leave it then

You can get fairly decent laptops, I have an OS X/Windows dualboot on my MacBook and it will play games like CSS, TF2 and The Sims 3 fine, but you wouldn't be able to upgrade it or anything in the future.

Bah I'll just leave it then until I really need one.

I would say keep your PC, as laptops can be really annoying with overheating and such, I have to keep mine on a desk with a fan running underneath it to stop it from overheating, and even that doesn't work most of the time.

I'd say its almost impossible to find a better laptop with enhanced features for that price, you probably won't find one better until for £700/800. I'd say stick to the computer as they have longer life spans aswell.

Did you break it? o.O.

OK, thanks.
