I've been seriously considering a mid to high end gaming pc for moderate playing on high/ultra settings (nothing competitive- personal favorite single player games with mods). However, I've recently been told by several friends that laptops are better. One friend got his laptop 2 years ago and it still plays current games at normal settings with an occasional drop in fps.
My question is: Are laptops more future proof than pc's? I hear that pc's need upgraded yearly or so just to play new games. Is it because desktop hardware evolves faster than laptop hardware? Either way, my budget is $1000 for a pc or laptop, I'd just like to know which would be a longer lasting investment?
I also already know the pc vs. laptop arguments - upgrades and power vs portability blah blah blah... I'm just asking for some facts and non-biased opinions. I've searched the web for this topic and can't find anything.
Thank you for your time and answers!
