yeah but if you need things like ram or HDD you need to buy their expensive stuff because things like kingston ram isnt compatible, they are good computers , but you can get a laptop that will perform OK for games , not great and you are definitely overpaying for gaming on a laptop , and with either one of those you wont be playing battlefield 3 , maybe starcraft or diablo

This is the Laptops and Netbooks section. We don't need you people offering the desktop route. I'm pretty sure my M17x R2 decimates your desktop on a bad day too.

And has better battery life than any UPS you can buy.
