I know if I'd been using the same PC for that length of time that I'd want something much more substantive as an upgrade.
Just so.
Though Tycow's post earlier was very useful as it made me realise something. Tycow says they travel a lot so need that portability to game, to be honest I do not travel enough to justify the extra expense. This is reinforced by what many of you say, especially exogenesis, who even though they give a rave review, their comments about the lack of battery power for gaming and the weight, kills off the thought of getting a gaming laptop. I think I need to rethink my needs, rather than just what I
want.
One of the main reasons I
thought I needed a laptop, was to reduce the space taken up on my desk, which of course Stars suggestion of a small form desktop PC would help, a compromise maybe. With a cheap laptop for limited mobile as is suggested above.
Now a question about that sort of thing please, if someone could help: Is there any more consideration needed for the small form case, regarding cooling? I certainly imagine so. Also could I still get that boost in performance as I see that some GPU in particular are huge!
Thank you for all the help so far, I do not doubt I will have more questions soon...
