There is a good article written on anandtech pointing out that for similar gaming levels, you need to spend almost 3x as much money on a laptop than on a desktop.

This dude from digitalstorm actually has the gall to write this drivel. Crazy sauce. People will actually believe this crap?

Why a Laptop Should Be Your Next Gaming System

"If you focus all your resources on a single, powerful laptop though, you can get the power to handle all your games, run serious productivity suites, and still remain mobile."

"No compromises on a budget."

"Additional custom options."

"While it is true that desktops are easier to upgrade, our laptops are usually already packed to the gills with high-end components anyway. How do you upgrade when you’re already using top-of-the-line hardware?"

It's called marketing. Someone who isn't knowledgeable about PCs will believe it and buy a laptop from Digital Storm, that's the purpose of that article.

"This is a guest post contribution from Andy Houghton who enjoys sharing his knowledge about technology and computers. Andy also writes for Digital Storm, manufacturers of high performance gaming PCs. "
(emphasis mine)

This is marketing fluff...nothing more.

Yes, I know that it is marketing...but I can't believe that people actually believe this stuff! Pretty strong statements made.

If memory serves, digitalstorm builds mostly desktop computers, mind you.

Tell it right, and some segment of people will believe anything.

I'm guessing there's more profit in laptops.
