Share a reason or two. Why did you bought a gaming laptop.

What were your pros and cons before buying one.

 

I thinking about buying an Asus ROG G751 980m version.

Because I didn't want to lug around a desktop to play something when I have to go run a show

 

Less powerful hardware, but portable and multipurpose for being on the road :P

I didn't :3 

 

I went for mobility and battery life.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Convenience of mobility is the only reason, really, desktops are better in all other aspects.

 

I went to a friend once in a while and having to move a desktop would be a pretty big annoyance. Not to mention the roads where I used to live would destroy the insides of a desktop like a bear fighting a kitten without legs.

I'm telling the truth! I AM a 12 year old girl!

Because all my travelling for work brings me to places in the middle of nowhere. To maintain my sanity in the hotel, I need my gaming laptop. xD

Last gaming notebook I bought was an Alienware M11x, was great for sixth form since it meant I could spend my free periods playing L4D2.

Need mobility, need a larger screen and enjoy a more powerful system.  That pretty much leaves "gaming" laptops as the only thing to look at.

We sold our house, decided to go traveling for a while. My gaming desktop had to go in storage, and I decided to buy a laptop (a Clevo P151EM1). I realized I really couldn't stand the idea of being without a computer for anytime longer than a month.

Got it due to a promotion when I sign up for my internet in the past. Reason for getting it is mainly so that I can go over to my friend's place to game together.

I bought one thinking it would be awesome and mobile.. thing was so heavy and hot and battery life was dire.. I mean 2 hours.. its 2015.. thats appalling.

sold it bought a maxed out macbook air! get 15 hours if battery, can do light gaming (cs:go, battlefield 4 low setting ect) Does the job I still have fun, oh and I don't get a sore back carrying around something that weighs only a pound or 2
