I want to get a computer for gaming.
mainly the games are Sims, archeage, age of wushu.
I'm wondering getting a laptop or desktop will be better. for laptop I heard alien mx 12 is good.
so I'm wondering for the price of tat, would it be better to use it to box a desktop instead. also whether tat laptop is suitable for the above games.

Desktop definitely more worth it. If you're planning to buy a gaming laptop, you need to consider what kind of settings are you gonna play the game and what's your budget. For a gaming laptop, it's highly recommended to go for AFTERSHOCK PC | Custom Gaming Notebooks

If you're moving around alot(like bringing it to school, etc), get a laptop for the portability. If you want to really max out your budget and dont plan on bringing it along with you when you travel, get a desktop. So it differs really on what you want.

so alien, Alienware M14x
and aftershock, AFTERSHOCK X15

which is better.

and if i use the $2000 to box one desktop, will the desktop specs be much better?

sorry for repetitive questions.

Definitely. You'll save, actually by getting a desktop. You can go here: Hardware Clinic - www.hardwarezone.com.sg to ask on how to build a gaming rig that fits your specifications :)

If u use 2k to buy a high end desktop (self build) you can easily get spec that are way better than alienware m14x and aftershock x15. Do you intend to bring your gaming outside? If not just get yourself a desktop, if so i will recommend aftershock x15 cause alienware m14x is not really valuable for money it the brand that make it so expensive.

depends on ur preferance, laptop will be more portable and the games that u are playing are not very intensive. Any entry-midrange gpu can handle them.
