This is a general question since i'm starting to get back into gaming again:
I was looking at either a laptop for gaming or building a desktop. However, i want to be able to use it in the family room with the wife. Most laptops video cards (even gaming ones) have horrible benchmark data (i'm seeing the Nvidia GT 765M on the ones in my price point). Now I can get a really good processor that has a great bench mark. So to the question:
I want to be able to game on a laptop or small screen but I also have a 110 inch 3d projector in my theater room I can also connect to for gaming if I want (when wife isn't home, etc). If I got a beefy gaming laptop it would work fine i'm sure on the smaller screen or maybe at a lower resolution? What would happen trying to use my 110" screen with it?
Even being pointed to some articles to help me grasp this would be appreciated. There was a deal at Lenovo for an $800 gaming laptop which had the stats of $1300-$1500 competitors models and I really was thinking "wow I could use this and save money. But does this mean i'd never want to use it on a big screen?
Do I have to do a desktop to use that screen so I can get a "real" graphics card? That price was low enough I could even build a cheaper secondary desktop or something and upgrade later. Thoughts?
laptop deal was a lenovo y410p. I was potentially looking at $1300 or so Digital Storm Vanquish Tier 4 desktop statwise and pricewise. Hoping the experts could help me! THank you.
