Q&A: Can you answer some questions about laptop gaming?

Question by 95HyPNoTiC: Can you answer some questions about laptop gaming?
I’m interested in getting a new computer that will be used for study and gaming. I don’t know whether I should get a laptop or desktop PC.

What are the advantages/ disadvantages of gaming on a laptop. Is the Intel Centrino processor OK for gaming?

If I need to be more specific in any way, just say so and I may add additional details.

Ok well I would say get a desktop because laptops can get damaged more easily and desktops work better.

Can gaming damage your laptop? What are the negative effects of laptop gaming?

Maybe the keyboard won’t function properly due to excessive button pressing? Or the laptop will overheat because of prolonged gaming? I play for 60 minutes or less and I play light/small, unpopular games from small companies like MyPlayCity, and not from large companies like Activision, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and the like.

Laptop Gaming…?

Question by feeble_muffin: Laptop Gaming…?
I have 1 GB or 1022 MB of RAM in my HP Pavillion laptop. It runs vista and has a 32 bit operating system. I was just wondering how well it would handle next-gen games or at least the newer ones. Thanks.
Sorry, by “newer games” I mean about 1 – 2 years old…

Not very well at all. I bet Vista takes up most of that 1GB. It also depends on your graphics card though.

I would need to know what you meant by ‘newer games’ but I would suggest you’ll probably struggle to play most games newer than around 3-4 years old.

A laptop that can play games is going to be really expensive…

But get a FAST processer try a intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz
ask for a 8700Gt
2gigs ram

that will cost like 2300.

But i could build that for like 1000
