I always thought Radeon 6990s to be complete overkill. My 5770 can run every PC game on full graphics without any lag, and is much cheaper.InterAirplay said:

well my laptop doesn't get used much as it is, most of the time when i need to do homework or whatever i'm going to be going home or i can do it after class, in which my desktop is a beast compared to my laptop, which i don't have a shoddy laptop, it can play mass effect decent enough, but honestly the portability isn't that big of a deal..i know what i need for the day so if i need to bring something i either post it to my online college account or i have a flashdrive with it on there.
for now i will always prefer my desktop, there is no need for the portability, but eventually portability will catch up a bit more to the point where i will use it just as much if not more than my desktop.
plus battery life? lol, if you run your laptop hardcore for games and whatnot it ain't gonna last more than a few hours probably.

i have a gaming lappy which is tits for taking to friends' and playing games with them, but i'm looking toward getting a better desktop as i have an old one that needs replacing. my job luckily requires an awesome computer ... justification!
desktops are so much cheaper now it's silly, i'm excited to spend as much as i spent on my lappy beast for a mammoth desktop.

My Desktops for gaming, movies, and used for it's raw computing power when it comes to compiling my thousands of lines of code, my netbook is used for note taking in lectures and coding small bits and bobs since it doesn't have the power to do the rest.
I have a custom built gaming computer as does my parnter (though her's is currently undergoing maintainance).
They both have fairly good graphics cards, mine is pretty new and cost around £80. Can run most games on full with few framerate issues.
I have a laptop with a ATI4570 built in. runs most games on medium-high with very few issues (not to mention the 3D screen). My partner has a netbook (aspire one) that can barely run minecraft and has a broken trackpad.
We both use the Laptops more.
I much prefer my PC for programming and gaming. It's faster, has 3 Screens and a nicer keyboard. My laptop has a pretty sweet keyboard too (I refused to get a laptop without a proper sized numberpad)
While the desktops are great, and I love them to pieces, They're not as "social" as laptops. I'm lucky in that I had a job a while ago with no bills to pay, so I could afford both, most of my friends, however have laptops for portability (some travel 40 miles to University). When they're round it's just not practical to cram 4 people in a tiny room with 3 computers, much easier to have 4 of us downstairs on sofas and chairs and boxes and whatever else we can muster. Considering we all play minecraft the most together it allows for easy communication, to have something on the TV in the background and it'll run fast on most laptops. I also like playing Games/Document editing on my phone..
I suppose the end result is whatever works for each person. If you need portability either get a desktop pc and a tablet (as my friend is probably doing), or get a laptop. If you're not bothered you can splash out on a desktop and keep a smartphone just incase.

I have a laptop for writing/working at uni.
I have a gaming/multimedia desktop rig for fun/writing.

Well then either I must have some sort of different Crysis Warhead or that website is bullshitting, because I ran it at maximum settings and it ran perfectly.Tubez said:

I feel that my desktop is much better suited for gaming than a laptop, and it's easier and cheaper to upgrade it along the way.
Though I am considering an iPad, or more likely a Samsung Galaxy Tab, for my casual browsing.
In fact, I'm writing this on my father in law's iPad.
right now, a low end gaming laptop (3 years ago when i bought it it was a med - high end gaming laptop). im saving up for a new even lower end (for gaming) laptop. i need it smaller, lighter, and great battery life (going with the hp dm1z). imma build a desktop in the summer because of my 3d animation work.
I have a desktop that I use for some games, though it's not meant for high-end gaming, I just cant keep up with the hardware upgrades on my budget anymore. So I have my modest desktop for things like Minecraft and some RTS games, but I still use my laptop far more often since I usually just use PCs for web surfing and writing- much more convenient.
