Re: Gaming laptops are a complete joke

I don't know what people are smoking, but my laptop (before and after repairs) is a gaming beast. I can run WoW on ULTRA in 1080p and still get an average of 72 FPS. I run Dead Island in 1080p on Max settings and get an average of 50 FPS. I run unreal Tournament 3 in max settings and pull over 60 FPS high enough I have to turn on VSync. Screen tearing is exceedingly common on my laptop gaming rig. Desktops are nice, but they aren't portable for going over to your friend's house for a LAN party, and laptops take up less space. I can deal with my laptop weighing 8.7 lbs so I can take it everywhere I go. A simple laptop bag and everything is gravy.
BTW, with everything set to fancy and render distance of far on minecraft running a 128x128 tex pack I'm pulling over 100 FPS without VSync on.
Desktops are only for EXTREME gaming needs and those who need ABSOLUTE RAW POWER. My laptop does fine in cooling with it's dual exhaust system. Oh, and they are halfway up-gradable, thanks. Not completely not up-gradable. I put an extra 8 GB of RAM in mine to total it out at 16 GB.
I don't need more than this beast. :3
I'm glad you found your way with this crusty. Hope they enjoy (and love you for life). :3
