1500$ Gaming laptop or 1000$ PC?

[PachiiAxe]

Just wondering because before i wanted a laptop but now i want a pc just dont know what is better in terms of computer performance... cooling, compatibility, prices and that stuff

pc will be much better for the price... you need about 2000$ laptop to be somewhat equal to a 1000$ pc... if you dont need mobility then get a pc (you also wont have any back pains and you will enjoy good picture from a decent monitor unlike the shit a laptop offers)...

do you want it for gaming or something else?

heres a quick pc build with AMD cpu and gpu... its without OS though... in terms of games, you will be able to play all 2013 games maxed out at 40-60 fps (not crysis 3)

consider spending those extra 500$ from a laptop price to buy an OS and a good monitor and you will have a good time

Portable devices are not and never will be equivalent to desktop devices. Portables have a place in computing. That place is for applications that require mobility/portability. Games do not qualify. You will get much more computer for your money with a desktop not to even mention performance related issues like over heating and short battery life.
