Well i know i was supposed to be upgrading my PC and all, but then i got thinking, Would it be better to get a laptop? I'm going to uni in september, and have the mobility will be a great help, i know it will probably cost more, but im working now and i still have some money. Some of the new ones that are coming out look quite nice, obviously i wont buy one til nearer the date of leaving (so i get a better spec one cheaper ) but what do you think? Desktop or Laptop ?

Both It's hard to play games on a laptop tbh so I'd do some minor upgrades to your PC so it's at last playable in modern games, then buy a cheap lappy.

I got curious and had a look at prices.
Seems £1900 plus will get you a decent performance gaming latop.
While a decent work laptop can be had for 8-900 quid. Assuming you upgrade yer PC nicely for under a grand, you have MUCh better value imho.

You won't be able to game on one of those, no chance.
You specified a 6800 or X800 mobile gfx card, so that's what I was looking for, youre looking at almost 2k for a machine with one of those inside with a gig or ram and a decent sized screen.
