Laptops are a huge no no for gaming, but if you prefer a laptop, that’s fine. Be warned that your game may take forever if you have 3000+ CC on it.
I have to disagree on that as not all laptops are equal as it is also with desktops(However desktops have more of advantage over laptops in most cases) Heck I agree and disagree on some points about playing games on an laptop. One disagreement- It depends on what type of laptop you play on as there are more than one type. One type is general use and the other type is Gaming. General purpose laptops in some cases are not ideal to play heavy CPU intensive or even GPU intensive games as they generate an lot of heat and can cause overheating. General purpose can play games it just depend on the type of games. General purpose laptops are more geared for productivity and tend to be cheaper than gaming laptops. Gaming laptops main purpose is to allow customers to play games and some gaming laptops may have an heating issue but gaming laptops tend to be more spacious internally to allow air circulation. Some gaming laptops uses top of the line parts and high end components pertaining to CPU, GPU and some other parts, some gaming laptops can rival it big brother as far as performance so as far as handling that 3000+ CC some can do it.
There are downsides to owning an laptop whether it is an GP(General Purpose) or an Gaming Laptop and both types share this caveat there are only good for an certain period of time as technology permits meaning it is good for what technology is available at that time. Unlike its big brother the desktop certain parts cannot be updated or it may cost an arm and leg to do it(not economically sound if it cost more than an new laptop and also if it is available). As far as weight goes both types can still be heavy luckily with the tech available today laptops are getting much lighter and some have dropped the option of including an internal optical drive being most developers are more into DLing than physical media and if you wish to have an optical drive you have to use an external drive but it is not as viable while sitting on an bus or car. Gaming laptops as far as older models and not so old models prices are dropping and it is still an excellent choice as games do not evolve as fast as parts do and allow you to enjoy gaming on laptops a little longer. I myself have an laptop built for gaming but I use it for productivity purposes and I do not game on small screens as I go big on big screens and I respect your opinion and I am not dogging you on it I am just making an few points and sorry to make an long post. :) An good idea include in laptops and it might drive the cost up an little bit is to have an hard drive 7200 rpm or faster or even an SSD or both and that pertains mainly to Gaming laptops.
