currently i am using a pentium III processor and i am planning to buy a new pc. I am puzzling whether to get myself a laptop or a desktop. I use to play game and download movie via the net. Can anyone give me some comment. To me, i prefer laptop because of it's mobility. In the same time i find that desktop have more benefits than laptop. Argghhh, i am really confuse. Which one should i get????? pls help me

Which game u prefer to play? How much ur budget? Is it ok if ur graphic for game u only able to run medium and u dun mind?

For me, I seldom play game except for dota. So for me, I'll go for laptop as it is mobility and less bulky. I have a pentium 3 at home for download only.

wrong section... please ask at hardware forum... there have more pros...

How old are you? Will you utilise your laptop more than your Desktop?

Answer the two questions and you will know which to choose. If you're Uni student and you really need a laptop, go for it. If not stick with the conventional.

desktop for gaming
laptop for mobility, if ur works need it

seriously ask yourself, do you NEED the mobility or WANT the mobility.
if mobility is not that important, go for desktop. you can get an above average desktop with average laptop's price.

Most people go for laptop mainly because of the mobility advantage but a little while later, they got bored with it and realize that laptop isn't what they really want. If you are student, I would suggest that you go for desktop and as LovesReborn mentioned, , you can save up quite a sum of money, which you can use to upgrade your desktop, should you choose a dekstop.

if you only use at home and didnt bring it everywhre..then desktop is more worth and suitable..desktop pc is cheaper than laptop...

i need mobility, but i dont fancy laptop because of its lower 'horsepower' compared to desktop.. so i prefer desktop, bring it everywhere i go.. lol..

PC FTW. there is no way you can play crysis in any laptop unless you throw 50k 4 one alienware gaming laptop.

Em any laptop with 8600 also can play la. No need 50k

I find that many ppl buy laptops but then leave them in their rooms and use them as if they're desktops. Before buying a laptop, make sure that you really need the mobility. many ppl have dreams of taking their work with them but later feel its too much of a hassle/unnecessary.

Budget budget budget, mana budget ko?
For me, i suggest you buy a brand new pc is better than crappy laptop.
I mean like budget around Rm2,000

well as far as i can say my laptop dell inspiron custom rig with 7900GS can play crisis at low-medium depends on reso. And that laptop cost around RM7700

Wow, that is really expensive. I fancy laptop because of its mobility. I think i will get a desktop instead.... What kind of cpu should i get if i want to play need for speed prostreet?

well if that said then ur definitely better off with a desktop.....

u want great laptop with mobility + gaming.....buy DELL XPS 1350...cyrsis no problem if low setting

If you've lived with a PIII until today, suffice to say that you're not bleeding edge, not in the game of constant updates and throwing tonnes of money into computing.

As such, I would lean towards a laptop + lotsa external HDDs.

Or a desktop + an Eeepc

I thought it's the other way round. Anyway, upgrade path is a myth unless you're doing it every other month.

Let's say you bought a LGA775 board 2 years... only to find it cannot support core 2 duos.... or an AM2 board that doesn't fully support AM2+ cpu's.

Or the vga card upgrade only to be spoilt by the fact that psu tarak cukup powaaa.

Or DDR --> DDR2 --> DDR3.

That's not playing it the way its meant to be played

low setting.
