Cheap laptop? (Gaming)

[quote=Xenasis]Why is the video only in 480p then? FRAPS records in a raw file, no compression (even lossless compression), no nothing. It barely seemed like footage recorded on "high" recorded there, and there's no point using lossy compression to upload a quality test.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Keep in mind that using a laptop keyboard for gaming is very, very suboptimal. As a gamer used to a real keyboard I would never want to use a laptop keyboard.[/quote]

[quote=omagma][quote=Xenasis] Why is the video only in 480p then? [/quote] Oh, i am SOOOOO sorry. Why don't you ask the maker of the video, hell if i know. Are saying is that Fraps cant have a effect on your game performance? Cause that is quite frankly a lie /:[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I'm amused to see there is an argument pertaining to laptop vrs desktop... This is not only simple logic, but there's fact behind it as well. Desktop > Laptop. The parts are cheaper, stronger, run cooler (And therefore faster), etc, etc, etc. They can be made bigger which is part of why they are cheaper, but it also means there's potential for more hardware and thusly a better part. Also parts for laptops are often times designed more to fit in the laptop than they are to run at max potential. Sometimes even if you have the same or comparable "Spec" in a laptop as you do in a desktop, the desktop offers superior quality. I myself game on my laptop, I'm too broke to buy anything like a gaming rig at the moment. Fortunately my laptop is really good or I'd be seriously S.O.L.[/quote]

[quote=omagma]^True (: I just cant imagine not having the ability to move around and be able to play everywhere.[/quote]

The difference to me is huge. Not being able to position and adjust your keyboard actually makes quite a big difference.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]I'm currently on laptop too. Gave ~1000$ for it about 1 year ago. Lol runs smoothly and can run new games fine. I have Battlefield 3 on Medium with 1680x1050 running 50 fps. But yeah on topic, you already realize that for same price, you're going to get way more from PC than laptop. But PC cant be carried around and doesn't have what laptops are made for. Mobility. Why does everyone says he should buy PC, when he obviously stated that he needs mobility? About laptop keyboards its a matter of personal opinion. I played on Razer Tarantula and everything, now I'm playing on HP keyboard that's in laptop(its very nice btw) and have no problems with it.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]True, comfort and such are often times better as well, but on an even more basic level, the quality of comparable spec parts is generally superior on a desktop.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]To sum it up; Only buy laptop is you seriously need mobility. If mobility is not what you need, you should take PC. Laptop does everything PC does, just half worse for same price. So before buying you should seriously consider. Is it worth it? Are there so many occasions where you would/could need laptop?[/quote]
