Do laptops have input lag

[DavethePCNoob]

I have a asus rog g751jl (which i know i overpaid for because i was uninformed when i bought it) and my crt croaked recently so i want to know if my laptop has too much input lag to play on it?For melee that is.

every device has input lag, its about the same as a desktop

[TheNuzziNuzz]

If it has input, it has input lag.

Yes, every machine ever has input lag. it's just a matter of physics and how much is between that button press and the end result.

 

as for playing games on it it would depend on the specs of the machine. and you said melee, an emulator i assume?

every machine with a screen has input lag.

Well snarky comments aside.

 

I'm going to assume since you said "Melee", you mean Super Smash Bros Melee

 

If you were planning to use your laptop to run a capture device to play from a console, then yes. There's a good chance there will be a significant amount of input lag for a game like Smash Bros Melee. If you were planning to run it from an emulator, then that's entirely dependent on how well the machine can run the emulator and your controllers (if you're using a converter it'll add input lag)

Absolutely not. Laptops have the same inout lag as normal screens (negligable) so it doesnt matter. Its a drop in the bucket compared to you 230-300ms and you wont noice it.

I mean on human bench mark i get about 160-175ms average of 5 on my pc and on my laptop i get from 260-275ms. So doesn't my laptop have about 100ms more input delay than my pc.
