Emob78: I've always wanted a laptop, so I'm not knocking you all. I just don't see the love for laptops. I want to, I really do. But that passion... just ain't there. But lacking even more than passion is the whole 'discretionary cash reserve.'
The picture someone posted before explains quite well why I am reluctant to buy desktop PCs anymore (see the attached pic). I guess those guys are going to some LAN party or something with their gaming PCs... That said, it appears to me prices have actually gone up here or something, for gaming laptops. I think over a year ago some online seller here was selling a highest-end ASUS ROG laptop with the highest end Geforce GTX 980M GPU for around 1500 euros or so... but now it seems to get a laptop with that same GPU, you need to pay closer to 2000€ or even more. I dunno, maybe euro has come down and that's why computers now cost more here, or what's the reason? It may be the other specs of these pricier 980M laptops it better too, like newer Intel CPU, more RAM, Bluray drive by default...
Either way, I've decided to postpone any plans to buy a newer gaming laptop. My years old one will still do, especially as I tend to mostly play older games anyway.
