do you need to get a laptop?
whats your situation?
that laptop is 3k+ you can get insane much more if you get a self made desktop.
maybe im missing something, sorry if i came over rude.
No worries, talking via text only can make things confusing to read at times.
It's not so much that I need a laptop...I just do not want to or have a 'station' for a desktop. Plus, I take my laptop to work as well.
I do not want a 17" model either.
So, I understand I will have to pay more for a comparable gaming laptop as to what I could build a desktop for, it (desktop) just won't fit my needs. I'm not one of those that are always 'on the go in the city' (for that matter, battery life doesn't even matter that much), but I do like to be mobile around my house. Packing up, carrying, and setting up a desktop at someone else's house is a huge pain compared to a laptop.
