Yep, Dave and Loonie. Unless you want to strap a backpack onto your back to carry with your laptop, filled with fuel cells.
Seriously, these gaming laptops are slightly out of hand in my opinion. The XPS Laptop line was one thing, but this is too much. For the wad of cash you'll drop one of those, you could have a bigger-screened and nicely cooled Desktop with similar if not higher performance specs.
But, there's the whole superiority complex that goes along with 'Yes, I play Counter Strike Source on my laptop. Lag? No.. no..'
I'm currently using my Alienware Area-51 m9750 to reply to you. I just feel the need to say: YES, desktops are slightly more powerful and slightly cheaper, BUT....they aren't portable. you cannot compare a laptop and desktop. people buy laptops so they can take them to work, to friends houses, to the pub, or to the bowling alley like I did tonight.
I'd LOVE to see you carrying a hefty beast of a desktop, plus monitor and keyboard+mouse etc, into a bowling alley or other public place. it'd be funny to then see the red cheeks on your face and then ask you again, "what is better? Laptop or Desktop?"
