Hey guys,
Basically, I am in need of a new computer and I can't make a decision whether to get a desktop or a laptop. I don't travel much but still it'd be nice to lie down in bed with a laptop or take it to the patio or to the occasional vacations. I will use the computer mainly for Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 and whatever enticing ARPGs come out in the next few years; and work (some Photoshop and other non-intensive tasks). I am debating between:
Laptop
i7-3610 QM
GTX 660M
8GB RAM
15.6 inch 1080p screen
and
Desktop
i3-2120
Radeon HD 7850
8 GB RAM
24 inch 1080p monitor
Price is about the same. I guess my question is is that desktop going to be noticeably better at the tasks I listed than the laptop so it's worth it to sacrifice mobility.
Thanks!
