Man they are the same components, of course they are comparable to an extent. Obviously thermals will be the limiting factor, but I dont understand this mindset of gaming laptops are retarded and should only be purchased if absolutely necessary. You know most people are perfectly fine playing on medium settings...

This is coming from someone who just built their first desktop, and had nothing but laptops before. I always got laptops with a decent GPU and they worked great and I never ran into problems. Since I am a student I am going between provinces a lot, and before moving out I would always go over to friends houses to game. Have you only ever gamed at home and never somewhere like a friends? lol
