[citation][nom]dark_lord69[/nom]Ummm... I don't know about that guy but... My last video card was $250 and I bought it 4 years ago. This year I paid $80 and got a nice one that will last at least 2 years (or more).[/citation]Yeah, "bang for the buck" factor has really gone up in the past 2 years with PC hardware. RAM is dirt cheap, a P67 mobo with an i5-2500k is pretty cheap, and a GTX560 or HD6850 can be had for under $150 and run any game at 1920x1080.
This makes it silly to consider a $400 tablet a wise purchase for strictly gaming, but once you have a tablet and master using it you'll never want to be without one. They are extremely versatile, and in my little corner of the world they have made laptops and netbooks obsolete.
