Desktop. For the same price you can get a much better setup.

obviously you will get more bang for you buck with a desktop, but there are decent & affordable game laptops.

example > https://www.amazon.com/Dell-i7577-5241BLK-PUS-Inspiron-Display-Gaming/dp/B0764HW117

anycase, try checking out r/LaptopDeals or any of the myriad of subreddits aimed at laptop gaming if you want to consider a laptop.

I meant I'm like you in that I like my gaming laptop but I'm still a console peasant at heart so I game more on it. >_>

Like I have more hours of Skyrim on PS3/4 then on PC (tho recently I upgraded to a laptop that can handle all of Skyrim's good mods so I'm trying to play on it more)

You can get a really solid machine for less than 1500 if you build it. Just do that and save the rest or buy a decent laptop too lol

Depends on your setup. If you have room for a desktop get that. But I love my Alienware 17r4.

If you want a nice laptop, get a premium ultrabook and ensure it doesn't have a GPU at all. Think Lenovo X1 Carbon. The integrated graphics of the newer models are enough to play current games on low settings.

$2,500 would get you a pretty good laptop but long-term a desktop is a better investment since you can upgrade what you want and they're easier to fix if something goes wrong with the hardware. Get a laptop if you value gaming anywhere you want in the house or if you travel around a lot (a gaming laptop is great if you often stay at other places).

With that money you could also consider getting both a desktop and a laptop. You can play games on your laptop using in-home Steam streaming if it's more about the convenience of playing anywhere you want in the house. But it won't be as portable as an actual gaming laptop.

I mean you can make it easier with a mini ITX setup, if you wanna go that route.

If you have that kinda scratch though I'd suggest you do both. Very doable.

It's really nice to play PC games in bed with the laptop on your lap. Problem is unless you shell out a LOT of money, they are not very future proof.

A lot of the advice In here is good and a lot of it is terrible.

Also please dont buy a dell laptop for anything other than work. They arent bad but they are not gaming laptops at all.
