What should I buy Desktop or Laptop?

Question

Ok Im going to be buying a computer or laptop in the next week....now I want a computer for gaming....actualy it can be either Mac or PC, just as long as it can handle a lot of games that are out now..help me?

Answer 1

desktop.

mac's are good but mostly for entertainment and programs, pc's are better for gaming.

desktops will always be faster then laptops.

either build your own.

or buy one that someone else built. (companies build pc's and sell them)

i'm not talking about a dell or gateway either

try www.newegg.com

and look at the pc's on that website, they have a bunch of really good ones for gaming, but if you are ambitious for a little cheaper you could build one just as good. your choice.

but www.newegg.com is the best out there. even for parts, especially for parts.

Answer 2

the only thing laptops have over desktops is portability, that's it. I'd definitely recommend getting a desktop PC for gaming. Depending on your budget you could even get a desktop with multiple video cards.

Answer 3

u should buy a laptop because its works better.

Answer 4

Basically when you buy a laptop your paying quite a premium for 1 year, or more, old technology that has migrated from the home pc market. Once chip manufactures are able to further refine a CPU's power usage and how much heat it generates the chips are then used in a laptop. Power usage and heat are major issues for a laptop that runs on a battery and its confined space.

Choose a laptop only if you need the portability a laptop offers. But you will pay more for less, especially when it comes to the video card in a laptop, as compared to a home PC.

Since it seems like gaming is your main concern I suggest a home PC as you will get the most bang for your bucks. There is no question here. As for buying a MAC I would suggest getting a PC since Mac's have less than a 10% market share. This means there are not as many games and programs written for a Mac. Plus just like you pay extra for a laptop you will also pay extra for a Mac computer when compared to a PC with similar hardware. Then good luck finding major games on a Mac, its just not happening for the most part. I have nothing against Mac's, thats just the current reality. :/

Good luck with whatever choice you make. :)

Answer 5

Okay, defenitly a desktop computer.  They can be upgraded with newer (amazing) video cards, which probably won't be pre-installed on any computer or laptop.  So if you want top-notch gaming experiences, get a desktop so you can upgrade your hardware.

Answer 6

you should buy a desktop because they are more faster than a laptop will ever be. you should get a windows xp or vista because macs are good but won't allow anything that isn't with apple or mac like some mp3 wont work on it it has to be apple. think about it. think it through. because i had 2 years ago bought a mac and i had a zune at the time and i could'nt use it on the mac
