Whats best?

[danboy1990]

basically im after a good laptop or desktop thats good for online gaming , like world of warcraft etc. i have around £700 to spend , just wondering wot u suggest

Well if mobility is not required then a desktop will be better, you can get more for less.
If however you do want mobility then a laptop is what you need, so it kinda depends on how mobile you want it to be.

If you can find another £20 ontop of this, go for the triple copper cooler.

hey cheers , when i try look at the spec . it doesnt show . just the standard starting page . also with the 3d g card. that would mean i would need a 3d monitor and wouldnt that lower gaming performance?

I'm no expert, but i don't think you're forced to use a 3D monitor- that feature is optional, hence the '3D vision ready'

[Rakk]

Yep, just cos its 3D ready doesn't mean you have to use it as Jack- said .

The link at the bottom of Corfates post was just a link to the page where you can configure that machine, it is not the exact spec Corfate picked.
