I know notebooks are hardly ideal for gaming, but buying a laptop is the most convenient solution to a string of problems right now including finding the space to put a hulking great desktop unit.

If you wouldn't buy a zepto Annan (or anyone else), what else would you consider?


I just got an Asus M51SE-AS120C. It is shiny and has a duo core as well as a dedicated graphics card, but I would never, ever, play a game on it. I fried my last laptop by playing TS2 on it - the graphics card died a slow fiery death which gave me a permanent heat rash on my thigh, before totally crapping out. It took a year for it to die after I started to play TS2 on it.

Desktops aren't all that big, nowadays. You might not be able to carry it, but it won't take up a room.

J. M. Pescado:
Squareish desktop towers actually consume very little actual space because they are stackable surfaces. In fact, you can create more "space" using them by using them as structural supports for shelves. If you're really that hard up for space, what the hell are you DOING with all that space?

Winklesim:
Heh, the apartment i'm about to move into has midget sized bedrooms (literally space for a bed only) and the communal space is not really an ideal spot for a desk/computer when you share with 3 other people.

Thanks for the advice Annan, i guess i'll re-think my options before rushing out to buy a laptop.

J. M. Pescado:
The solution is obviously to lose the bed and give up sleep.
