i do not game on a laptop, but maybe thats just me.
But i'm scare for longlife.
The 20 min battery life of the laptop is infinitely better than that of the desktop :p
A equivalent desktop would cost alot too. 1000$ CPU, 200$ mobo, 70$ RAM, 50$ slim DVD burner, 60$ HDD, 50+$ PSU, GPU is equivalent to a 6850 so 185$, Small form factor case with adequate cooling 100+$, Screen is at least 100+$. That is at least 1850$, and this isn't even counting the fact that it has no battery backup or probably needs extra custom cooling. That is at least another 150$... So This desktop breaks the 2000$ barrier, while being 10x the size, and unpractical.
I'd pay the 477$ premium for it being practical and not needing to break your back, buy a car, or hire someone to carry it around for you
2477$ :D - u first time in this world? it starts from 2477$ and this means it is i-950, with GTX 460m for those 2477$ so u can only imagine what price will be for i7-990 + GTX 485m, because GTX 485m in europe costs about 800 euro.
EDIT: And for travling gamers these things rule. And I mean the ones that travle in their job and are gone for weeks each time, or maybe military personel? Seriously, it's expensive, but for the target audience it's pretty darn awesome.
I just maxed it out with all the most expensive additional options for 21,850 :laugh:Desktops have a lot better cooling options and the heat is more easily dispersed. I'd like to see a liquid loop on this. Anyways, I was being serious about using it for a heater as pro lol.
Unless you have a SSD then you might make it to TPU before that dreadful critical battery warning (YOU NEED A NEW FUCKING POWER SOURCE RIGHT NOW!!)
If anything, the battery would act like a UPS, just for those moments in a LAN competition when some moron trips over the main power strip. (Happened to me twice.) ;)
still, it is supposed to be expensive.
no gamer needs an i7 990X btw :p This is targetted to rich dudes anyways
The base price for the 990X and the GTX485M is $4100. Though I think I would go with the 980X and GTX470M if I was configuring it and end up at a slightly more reasoable $3500.
