Laptop Vs Tower for Gaming

They are starting to move away from the thick, heavy, and huge. Have you seen the Razer and Acer laptops? They're as thin as a MacBook and have the ability to run any game on the market with high FPS. Although, you are correct in every other aspect. They're $2,000 or more, and they're limited for upgrading and repairs.

 

I havent found a single game yet that im not able to play on my laptop, im very happy with my asus and its good however a tower will always be better but i move around a lot of therefore a laptop is a better choice for me

 

One word: heat

You can't have that much power without adequate cooling. I'd never buy a Razer not only because of the cost-to-performance ratio but because there's no way you'd play games without a cooling pad then a wireless mouse and keyboard to keep your hands off the steaming machine.

 

Yeah. I was never debating the amount of heat the laptops are spilling out; I was just stating that they're not thick, heavy, and huge. Although, it isn't like you're going to burn your hand or cook eggs on it.

You can run any game on the market with high FPS without it being dangerous, and it's not a boulder to carry around. The heat isn't an issue because it's not going to shut off your game, it's not going to burn you, and it should stay "relatively" cool while out in the open. A cooling pad is 100% worth the purchase when choosing to buy a laptop like that.

The cost-to-performance ratio isn't perfect, but it's a lot more adequate than the competition. You are looking at spending $2,000 for the 3200x1800 resolution screen, 100% Adobe RGB color, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M, Intel® Core™ i7–6700HQ Quad-Core Processor with Hyper-Threading 2.6GHz / 3.5GHz (Base/Turbo), 256GB SSD and 8GBs of memory. You also receive an excellent keyboard, webcam, and the lightweight portability.

If you compare it to other laptops, you're paying an extra few hundred dollars for the portability, keyboard, and the amazing screen. The screen is perfect for both graphic designers and gamers.

I've had the same gaming laptop for the past 3+ years. It's quite incredible. It plays almost every newly released game on high settings with decent FPS, no stutter, and that thing has never overheated on me. The only complaint I've had for it is that it's too bulky. It's a massive piece of shit that I have to carry to classes every day. I've hooked it up to my 144hz BenQ monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, etc., and it acted entirely like a desktop. You can do the same thing with a Razer, guaranteed.

Although, I'm not trying to say that laptops are better than desktops for gaming. That would be ridiculous. I'm trying to relay with reasonable information that the Razer laptops are worth their price. They might even become convenient enough to become primary machines.

Razer is a great brand, and I would never spend $2,000 on another brand except for possibly an Acer setup. Razer recently began working with Lenovo, making monitors and laptops together.

I think that is going to be interesting. They're releasing external desktop graphic card setups for their laptops. Imagine having a portable computer that you can plug in and unplug within seconds. Mixing the power of a desktop at home, and the 2-inch thick convenience for traveling to campus every day.

TL;DR
Yes, they overheat. Yes, they are worth the price. No, they are not yet primary machines, but they might become a standard at some point.

 

Laptops almost strictly run cooler overall because they're using mobile chips. Their TDPs are ridiculously low.

When it comes to room heating capabilities laptops got none son.
