Gaming gaming laptop vs build+general use Laptop

[Originality]

I treat all my laptops with care. Can't stand getting scratches on them no matter how much I paid for them.

Agreed. Also if you lose a £1500 laptop, its end of the world. You feel like you have to baby it. A £300 nettop/tablet can be treated a bit more roughly and with a little less care.

Selp i have figured out my plan for now but it will be different once i build the pc (most likely with windows 10 rather than 8.1). Also for my moderate sub 500 laptop i will still treat it with care since 500 is still alot of money

What about a notebook with an external graphics amplifier or gaming dock?



Yes, I know, it's a bit outside the price point you were looking at, but the concept is rather exciting.

Yeah it is neat but I think I have decided to build a PC for 600 hundred and buy a 400 dollar laptop

good in theory, shit in practice.

whats the CPU going to be? still a mobile CPU right? which in itself cripples emulation.

Much rather have a desktop + cheap laptop.

Yeah true. Its not like I'll start throwing my iPad around. But I go from caring for my laptop to babying and having OCD with my macbook pro which really isn't very comfortable.

Yeah but the laptop I'll get hopefully will also have decent build quality to go along

I never feel comfortable running anything intensive on a laptop whether or not the particular laptop can "handle" it because of all the heat generated in those tiny form-factors. I should note that I've had a laptop die due to overheating much like the 360's RROD.
