I have two laptops, as I like portability. I have an old Toshiba that I have had for about 4 years and still works rather well, and the one I currently use the most which is my Acer aspire. I like it, and it does most of the things I want it to, which is all that matters to me at the moment.
oh thats good to knowWicky_42 said:Eh, you probably did the right thing - processors constantly change chip-sets, it's impossible to future-proof more than a year or so really as the next generation's gonna need a different motherboard anyway. At least there's little indication of getting rid of PCIe slots anytime soon, so you're gonna do fine with that choiceCardinalPiggles said:stupidly i made my g card future resistent, but my processor not, so when the time comes i gotta fork out alot more money
I was looking into upgrading (ended buying a new graphics card as my old one conveniently burnt out (lol)) but there's so much new shit coming out this generation that it's definitely safer to wait another to see how the industry pans out. There's a new universal connection being introduced that's got RIDICULOUS bandwidth on it, to the point where a friend of mine's talking about the advent of external graphics cards being able to run fast than internal ones (!_!), so tech could be getting pretty interesting in a couple of years' time!
i'll keep an eye out for the tech of the future
I use to play games on a desktop, then I shifted over to laptops for about the last five years or so, but now am switching back. While I love the portability and versatility of my laptop, they are just far too expensive to be a hardcore gamer on for my budget. As other have said, you can build a more powerful desktop for much less money, though you do lose the portability feature, which was huge when I was in college. Now that I'm done, I am building a new desktop and am quite excited about it since I don't need a laptop to haul around with me. When I get a new laptop, I'm sure I'll just get something middle road that I can use for minor stuff, but not gaming.
