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?"

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.
