Off-topic question about gaming laptops: when they aren't used for playing (only internet, MS Office etc.) how loud are they and what's their battery life? Just asking because a few weeks ago I (totally accidentaly) stumbled upon an article about some new super laptop which can only handle 3-4 hours tops (not saying I even thought of buying that one).
The reason I'm asking is because the universities (or at least some of them) where I'd like to apply next year wants a laptop to be brought to every class. And obviously, if they are really loud, I'd rather keep my current one too and take that with myself. (I'm pretty sure it's damaged to I won't sell it)
True gaming laptops will be thicker for better cooling and also heavier than the average laptop.I have an Asus ROG gaming laptop. it's 8 pounds. It is very quiet even while gaming. Yes gaming laptops do not have a long battery life. About 3-4 hours. You are supposed to game plugged in and not use the battery. The battery can not handle gaming and is only good for light computer tasks.
If you want to game and need a laptop for school, I suggest getting a cheap laptop with a long battery life for school. Have a desktop at home to game on. I use my gaming laptop like a desktop. I don't lug it around. I also have a desktop. Desktop is always better for gaming
As for the weight, my schoolbag weights a rough 15 pounds on an average day. If I can can carry that every single day, I'm pretty sure 4 pounds won't be a problem. ;) I wish I could have a desktop but that is not an option not now and certainly not once I'm at university. Maybe after that.
Anyways, right now, my laptop can last an entire day without charging. So unless I someone magically invents cheap gaming laptop with super long battery life, I'll have to take this with myself too. I wish laptop had something similar to smart phones' powerbanks.
