I love playing on PC. My 1st time playing on PC was back in the early 1990s, it was Sinbad the Sailor & Civilization on 3 1/2 floppy disks. The computer was my dad's.
Then in 2011 my daughter & I looked for games to play on Windows 7 & discovered Sims 3 on DVD, it was amazing. However, we learnt the hard was that Laptops aren't good for gaming.
Now we each have our own Desktop Computer with Windows 10 & both of us like to play Sims 4 & the Starter Pack Sims 3. I also play
Civilization V, Age of Empires & Sims Medieval.
My beautiful daughter is grown & has her own place & is more of a gamer than I am. She still says that PC games are still better than Apps, Wii, Xbox & Nintendo.
Like Mother, like daughter.
That's such a false statement. Laptops are fine for gaming, as long as they met specs and a person isn't trying to play a intensely graphic game on a $200 underpowered laptop. Then, no, of course it won't go well. But I have had a well spec gaming laptop for the last 5 years that I play games on and have zero problems out of it.
An underpowered laptop is exactly the same as an underpowered desktop. It is true you have to have slightly higher spec's on a laptop then you would on a desktop, but a blanket statement that "laptops aren't good for gaming" is completely untrue. "Underpowered laptops aren't good for gaming" would be very accurate.
Yes, it is true that sub spec platforms are not going to perform well, but I think the salient issue is that a desktop is going to give you better bang for your buck when it comes to performance.
But that wasn't the statement. The statement was "laptops aren't good for gaming" not "laptops are inferior to desktops for gaming".
I agree, nothing compares to a desktop, which is why I mentioned that laptops needed slightly higher specs. And my desktop is far superior over my laptop, but I can easily game on either - without major issue from either one.
