I agree completely. The one thing a laptop is never going to surpass is the abilty to be modified and get some serious power. Not only that but you really can have the HDD capacity on a laptop than on a Desktop I for one have 4TB of HDD space in one of my machines alone. Lets say I bought a £2000 laptop for gaming...12 months down the line it needs more GPU power and the upgrade cost will be phenomenal. I just slapped 2 ATI HD9750 cards in my machines at under £100 each. Id like to see anyone match that in a laptop. Gamers also like the fact that its a BIG CHUNKY UV REACTIVE GLOWING status symbol. Everyone loves a light show...and now you can have one in your living room :P. Any respectable Geek is going to have a cheap ass £200 laptop for wondering about using WiFi etc and a monster sitting under the desk for all the other work. I have yet to contemplate why anyone would try gaming on a laptop. The limitations are huge. Just for reference: I have 3 High Spec Gaming PC's - Me, The Wife and Son 2 Low end laptops for when your going somwhere or working wirelessly 1 Server (Not particularly powerful as far as servers go) Terminal Services/File Hosting etc 1 Mid Spec laptop for work and alot of networking kit. The Desktop will not die as anyone with any real enthusiasm for computing is going to keep them alive. O ye and could someone please show me a laptop with a reasonable sized screen for playing games....24" +
