Actually, you are wrong. I'm so tired of seeing generalized 'assumption' posts like this. One shoe does not fit all in the world of gaming laptops. The fact is that the newest generation of CPU and GPU technlogy have dramatically improved the world of gaming laptops. Almost all of the companies that make laptops in the $850 to $6000 range that vary greatly in size and overall processing power. Will gaming laptops ever attain the comparable value dollar-for-dollar compared to the same amount of money for a desktop? Not today, but that could change. For now, the compromise is simple. If you want portability in gaming, the cost of entry for a gaming laptop is higher than if you were to build a desktop gaming system for the same amount of money. I have two high-end desktop gaming systems and one high-end gaming laptop and use them both. Is my gaming laptop as powerful as my desktop? No. But then I can't take my gaming desktop with me when I go on business trips out of state. That's where my gaming laptop picks up the duties very well. Ultimately, the best solution is to have both a desktop gaming system AND a gaming laptop, but only if you have a need for both. Don't be a hater just because you don't have need for one of the solutions. You should be happy because there is more than one choice for consumers to select from.
