okay the reason why i deem it unecessary is cos it's a lappy that weighs a ton.....basically a desktop with its price probably twice that of a desktop with similar specs. Why not spend money on the cheaper desktop alternative....and all for gaming too (thats the main reason for that lappy)....not worth it man....,


Some of the reasons why laptops are more expensive than a desktop of similar specs is because of mobility. 2 - 3 hours (battery life) may not seem much considering the level of anyone who would get that kind of laptop, love for gaming but, think about it.
You can take it to the office and play, camping, picnic, waiting at the airport, train station, some bus stations, prep, classes (in between lectures). 2-3 hours would go a long way in those situations. Some people carry extra batteries but, let's keep it on the average. So, I think that justifies the prize difference in every way. Desktops are mostly for people who don't work for long or don't work at all or entrepreneurs.

kimco:

you know when pc gamers accuse console gamers of wasting money on paying online and buying 60$ videos games dat play for 6 hrs.....well pc gamers also love to spend money unecessarily sometyms....priorities can be misplaced man. i have seen people buy more gpus to sli/xfire jux becos they run gta at 45-50 fps and the need the 60fps. similar to audiophiles who swear the can hear magical sounds never hrd before when they spen 1000s on audio systems


Anything that misplaces a priority becomes THE priority.
But I agree, generally that people spend money on gaming unnecessarily. Like upgrading just to move from 50-55fps to 60fps but, what I'm saying is IF one has too much money, as you put it, it would not necessarily mean the spending was unnecessary. It is only unnecessary when "you are spending what you don't have on what you don't need to impress people you don't like" (because if you like them you wouldn't wanna oppress them or feel thee need to catch up)

kimco:

thats my opinion....i await ur argument as well....lets try to keep it clean if we can man.

Hehe... Don't worry, I'm like an ocean, if you don't jump into it you won't drown.

i understand the price diff...what i dnt understand is why anyone wud choose this weighty laptop or a lighter less expensive, albeit, less beefy laptop is beyond me.....besides that screen size is not worth 1080sli

also i dont think spending on things you dnt need jux to impress jux cos you have the money is justified....im not going into preaching mode and say there are starving marvins elsewhere but seriously it cud be put to better use i swear. buying things u dnt really need, yet want, for the sake of it is unecessary.....even if you really have the money in abundance.

my two pesewas.

Maybe. But i've seen the setups of some youtubers who even take on projects for EA from time-to-time. And e no reach dat.

Besides, notice the ps and xbox consoles aren't there for show. There are wires running off the back of those consoles showing the owner uses them plus the desktop too.

Owner's probably a dev & youtuber.
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 2:11pm On Sep 11, 2016
Wahalah!
This setups ar headaches! Make gamig a job or chore

Even youtube gamin as it is Takes the fun away from gaming in my opinion! As most of them rely On sufficient likes for their vlog business to be promoted.

Why do people even need so much monitors?? And those look like 30" monitors at least.

God knows i cant game with this kind of setup even if i could afford it. I would lose almost every round i play. Bcoz having to turn my head almost 90° to see what's going on the left & right screens would definitely be tedious.
I can't speak for others but for me when I'm coding... it helps a lot bruv....I use two now not enough....at alll

Well, "better" is subjective... a 60fps capable pc is "better" than a starving kid's meal to some people. Empathy isn't common. It's the way of the world... Not necessarily the way to go.. .
Welcome to the real world, where people buy Ferrari and crash it the next day, where people buy bugatti for $3 mil, buy a fuvk!ng house for $40 mil

very unfortunate but true.... it is how the real world works.

hopefully we as pc gamers try to stray from that path as much as possible.

Hi Guys, I just got a PS 4 console, and am very very confused on the games to get on it, presently have Destiny and Bloodborne. I tried playing Destiny, and i got a message I need to download update of 39gb before I can play the game, also did not know it was on online game. For Bloodborne , not my kind of game. My question is if Destiny is worth playing and owning, I need game suggestion to get. please do not state games available on Pc, cause i have a gaming laptop and all games available on pc have tried out or seen.
