Gaming Laptops Are A Real Option Now

April 22, 2008

The last year has seen masses of hype thown towards the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 but a lot of excitement has been seen in new PC titles. Basically whatever happens the PC will always be a large gaming platform.

Even though some manufacturers have tried, gaming PC’s are usually labelled big, ugly, noisy, expensive and they are always stuck in a small, isolated room. Enter the Notebook Computer…

Consumers have driven up laptop sales in the past two years. In fact in 2007 Notebook Computers were expected to overtake their desktop counterparts in overall PC sales.

Despite the fact that that the majority of users don’t need mobility or even a laptop there’s something about being able to move a computer from one location to another and being cable free that we all find is a must have part of our lifestyle.

The only problem for game lovers was that most laptops were not powerful enough for gamers. Any laptop meant for playing games on was also big, ugly, noisy and just expensive.

A lot is different now. First the Intel Core 2 Duo processors started equalling the speed of Desktop CPU’s. Intel have done a super job marketing centrino and being the market leader but AMD has pushed them enough to excel in the mobile market. Nvidia has also pushed the limit on speed with their line of high performance Graphic chips. Things are moving in the right direction. In 2008 Intel will release the quad core mobile CPU. Nvidia will release the Geforce nine series after having success with the 8 series.
