Gaming laptops eh?

It fits my needs =p
But yeah, I just thought it was ridiculous enough to share. The upgrade tacks on an extra $130 to the total as well as a possible week (maybe even two) of added waiting for the thing to arrive. I've used my current laptop extensively for over two years, so I'm very eager for my new rig.
is there a specific reason you need gaming on the GO ?
I mean.. I've seen people play dota in the library.. but i never understood WHY... why not go home, with the better chairs, better snacks, girl friend gives you BJ under the table..
WHY dota in the library.. so you can have other people see u play dota in the library.. i just don't get it..
I personally don't like being tethered to my desk all the time when I game. I maybe spent less than a total of 24 hours with my laptop on my desk in the past two years until the screen broke after an accident, after which I hooked it up to an old monitor.
I have invested a lot in peripherals for this new laptop, though, so I'll be spending more time at the desk than I did before. However, the difference between having a laptop instead of a desktop is that moving about becomes pretty instantaneous in the case that I don't want to be at the desk anymore. It's a luxury I've grown very accustomed to, and having to spend a good twenty or so minutes to lug around heavy components just so that I can move fifteen feet to another room isn't something I'd ever trouble myself with.
Laptops also accommodate my college lifestyle a bit more, so they'd get much more daily use than a desktop ever would. When I'm not studying (which I'm usually not) I have a plethora of Steam titles to plow through in whatever coffee shop/library setting I'm in. And yeah, I'll shamelessly admit to having spent hours sitting in a McDonald's booth playing Dragon Age and Mass Effect on more than one occasion.
I just think I'll get my money's worth out of it =p
