my friend told me its easy to carry around with laptop but desktop is so much powerful!!

my friend has a laptop and something i would like to play games with him at like a cafe shop with WIFI

i could bring laptop to Friend's house

what should i buy??? help me decide!

i hope i could play Starcraft 2 when it comes out

and i play cheap games like CS1.6 , gunbound, and i do facebook and downloading songs, watching youtube and stuff. which would be a better choice for me?

Answer 1

I recommend neither. Gateway is terrible. The Dell desktop is OK. Get one of those Dell Inspiron laptops that you can choose the color for.

Answer 2

Laptop=Mobility, very expensive parts and labor, limited upgrade ability,heating problems,less life.

Desktop=Power,flexibility,upgrade ability,inexpensive parts,gaming

If mobility is not essential to you then get a desktop ,you will enjoy it more and will last longer.

Some people consider essential to be able to IM their friends from the bed or the couch,but thats not why laptops were made.
