What's the consensus on Sup Forums about laptop gaming?
Alienware seems like a great choice but costs so damn much.

Tried it a few years back. Fucking hated it. Dual monitors and a keyboard/mouse is /comfy/

If playing games is the real thing and watching let's plays is getting cucked, playing on a laptop is getting cheated on.

By a desktop you fucking piece of shit.

ugly feet

i still would

It's dumb. You're never going to feel physically comfortable unless you buy peripherals to emulate a desktop computer, except you're using a laptop so it won't have anything like the performance of an actual desktop computer. You're theoretically paying extra for portability, except not really because you need to be shackled to an outlet because you're running a fucking 1080 on a fucking battery and the practical life is something like an hour and a half at best.

Laptops are great. "Gaming" laptops are not. If you're that desperate to play video games on the move just play shit on your phone and spend your money elsewhere. I'm honestly struggling to think of a shittier purchase than a ricer laptop.

do girls know what theyre doing when they put their feet up like that?

>laptops
>literally spend $1000 on a meh laptop when $1000 can get you a beast raping desktop

No, because most people aren't perverts.

that's some ugly disgusting feet

this, they're inviting all kinds of trouble

just get a mac and dual boot it

>mac

My commute to work is 4 hours to and from unless I started in a hotel on 10 hour days for 6 days a week. I got one for 1500$ to play when I stay in a hotel that is merely on par with the 700$ desktop I built four years ago. (i7-4400hq/1060, i3-4150 760, for refrence). Had I spent that money on a desktop, I'd have much much better performance. Portability would be about the same if I built it in a miniitx case. You could also get a normal laptop and an external gpu, though I've never looked into it so I couldn't tell you how worthwhile it is.

That being said however it's worth it to me, even just as an extra computer for someone else to play on when they come over or when I go to lan parties. Playing in bed is super comfy, especially if you have a tray for it.

More or less what this guy said

Are they? I thought they look fine

It's great if you need to game on the go. I travel a lot for work, so I need something I can take with me. I dropped $1,200 on a laptop. It's not as good as a tower, but its decent.

they're the best feet i've ever seen if i'm honest
>$1,200 on a laptop

pic related.
I'm personally fine with them, but wouldn't recommend > 1000$ ones at any point.

>Alienware seems like a great choice but costs so damn much.
Alienware is literal Apple-tier cancer. Avoid at all costs.
Asus, MSI and Lenovo make the best machines with good Price:Performance ratio.

yes they are fat and unappealing.

>red painted toenails

nothing worse

whats wrong with red nailpolish?

>ywn be her

what's the issue?

>gaming laptops
You mean paying $1000 for one mediocre in performance and mobility device instead of buying a desktop and a thinkpad? You are not going to carry around that big heavy motherfucker with zero battery life anyway.

why would you want to be a girl you gayboi?
i just want her to rub those soles on my face.

Alienware is pretty overpriced but after buying an old one on ebay I couldn't buy anything else.
I bought this one refurbished though off dell's site. WAY cheaper that way (like 500 dollars off) and all it has is a small white scratch.
Also my GPU's specs and hard drive space suffer since like half the bottom of the laptop is vents for more cooling and that lip behind it.

I wouldn't recommend it though.
If you have a stable future or don't go anywhere there isn't much need for the portability.
Its not like I'm going to go bing bing wahoo some public place.

>Got pic related for 210$ last month.
>packs a 3rd gen Intel i5, 16GB DDR3, Nvidia Quadro K1000M 2GB, 500GB HDD, W10 Pro x64.
>all metal shell and a great 15" 1080p screen.
>great battery life on stock 6-cell, and I could buy an extra large one for some 12+h off-cord use.

>can run pretty much any pre-2010s game smoothly at 1080p, and some modern stuff, like KF2, at 720p / ~medium.
>The CPU and GPU can actually be swapped and upgraded. Only a BIOS update is required.
>matching i7 would be < 200 bucks, and K3000M / GTX 965M 4GB around the same price.

in short, with a little bit of work, you can have a killer gaming laptop for 600 bucks, that could run any modern game at 1080p / 60fps. I tend to stick to 900p most of the time, because the pixel density is sooo fucking tiny on this screen!
Hell, just by upgrading the (still serviceable) workstation GPU to a GDD5 model, or a proper GTX, this thing would BTFO of the 8th gen consoles!

Tried it. Too expensive, and inferior to a desktop if you're playing at home, but I've had a lot of fun good times being able to easily play games while travelling.

how dare you reply to me

>has an actual graphics card that can support multiple monitors/isn't a poor fag
Haha yeah

who are you quoting?

These feet are shit. Just like gaming laptops.

I mostly play old stuff and emulator shit anyway, so I never needed a powerful PC. Pretty nice for lan parties and shit like that, you only can make them work with older games anyway, because modern developers are friendless faggots. Just make sure that your screen is on the bigger side, most games and especially strategy are nauseating with low resolution.

is she still dating the pedophile?

Footfaggotry is below cuckolding in the fetish hierarchy. You are literally a fucking footmat in this case.

So you have bad taste? More for the rest of us, then.

>Footfaggotry is below cuckolding
objectively wrong

I bought a Lenovo Legion Y720 , it's a lot more affordable and has a Desktop based GPU, Runs most of my games on max like my PC.

You shouldn't go cheaper and you shouldn't put it on your fucking lap like that retarded person in your pic OP

>literally a fucking footmat
You have to be under 18 to have such a narrow understanding of fetishes and still feel you have to comment on them.

>Footfaggotry is below cuckolding in the fetish hierarchy.

found the cuck

image search came up with nothing. i like thick soles with short toes.

this thread is outdated as heck, 1060 series laptop graphics cards put out performance about the same as desktops with a very marginal difference (

you can put it on your lap if you're not playing games you dumbass bimbo

Are you fuckers blind? Those are prime fj material.

I don't like her feetsies

No, those are objectively terrible looking feet. I'm sorry, but even as low as my standards for feet go, those things are awful. They look like bear paws and her toenails are freakishly short.

Gayming laptop has to be the dumbest thing ever, if your going to sit for hours in a stationary position playing a game you completely defeat the purpose of a laptop to begin with, even worse if you just end up using it at home %90 of the time like you would a desktop.

>objectively
I hope you're underage to prolong this meme-term.
>bear paws
Some people like those. Especially after seeing and archiving so many differently shaped feet, the unique ones stand out even more.

The special gaming-brand laptops like Alienware are overpriced for what they are.
You can get the same sort of performance for a few hundred dollars less by just looking for high-end laptops with good graphics that aren't specifically branded for gaming. All you miss out on is shit like backlit keyboards and attempts to make it look like a Transformer.

This feet in op are shit tier.
