Thread: Laptop or Computer?

See, that is weird to me! I am old and have just learned the 101's. I do not multi-task well, especially with computers. I admire the humans that can, just pick up a laptop and carry on! Amazing! ( I really mean that )

I personally prefer a Desktop for the fact of how much power i can have and use to play any game i want. I would say I prefer a laptop if you could upgrade the MoBo, GFX card or chip, The CPU, Heat-sink, and fans. At the moment i have a Powerful Desktop and i just Upgraded my Heat sink because it was running 157F and the new heat Sink got it to about 117 and lower. and it is in the low 90's when idle.

Hi Jolly! Welcome to the forum! Umm, I was lost, about half way, thru your reply!
You should invent, what you just said, you needed! ( i am am a dork and an old hippie! )

Well what i was meaning in English is that a Desktop had more Graphical Power than a laptop and can be upgraded adding more Graphical power to play all kinds of games and a laptop wouldn't. But in a Laptop you can not Upgrade the motherboard or MOBO and the GFX card is graphics card the cpu is the Controlling Processing Unit, a heatsink keeps the CPU cool and the fans help. and for the Temperatures its is bad if a PC hits an excess of 150+ Degrees F but i added a new heat sink and now keeps it at 117 when playing games.

Hi Jolly!
Thank you for reply. I kinda understand all of it. I know about the fans cooling off the systems. It is very important! 117 is still too hot? On the other hand, I love my desktop computer! I could not carry a laptop, I would get mugged! ( so, that is not going to happen! )
