Laptop for me. Purely so my other half doesn't complain when I play SH3 as I'm sat right next to her whilst she watches American Idol or something of equivalent quality :roll:

Not a disagreement with the other posters here, but rather a note. Like someone else said above I play on my laptop not because its better, but because it is what I have. While I have to select my games carefully, cause it won't run everything I have no problems playing SHIII with GWX 2.0, or Battlefield 2, among other things. I put a external cooling fan system underneath it and there aren't any problems. So as a note, if you had to get a laptop it certainly isn't the end of the world.:p

im playing sh3 on a 3 year old laptop,it runs fine all detail max,main downside is sound,however i output thru an amp+speakers when at home and is good as any tower unit!depends what else you play really,laptops aren't good for modern fps(shooters) etc,and you can just forget sh4,but hey,so can most desktops!! just for reference,my laptop is 1.7.ghz pentium M, 512mg ram, radeon 9700 mobility,top spec at time but way old now and runs sh3 like a dream...

thanx fellow kaleuns
some very interesting tips to keep in mind!!!

i think i agree with most here that a desktop will be easier upgraded...so the gf will have to wait till she can swan about with a laptop!!!!
sh3 gwx2.0 comes first!!!!

p.s sh3 comes first when buying a pc/laptop not my gf:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I should certainly hope so http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...es/whistle.gif
