PC vs Laptop

Well, until recently I have realized that using a laptop to play games is just not as fun as using a desktop. I don't know, maybe I just like the fact that my monitor is 22" with wireless keyboard and mouse.Unfortunately, the damn hardisk had to get corrupted for the second time, luckily I have my trusty laptop thou it isn't just the same.

Comparatively, the laptop loses on the monitor size, 22" vs 14" to play games and watch movie. Don't tell me u like to strain ur eyes on the puny 14" screen, I'll kill u. Another reason is that the damn touchpad on the lappy nids 2 hands to use effectively. Trust me, the reactions will slow down if u try to work with 1 hand on the laptop touchpad, and I'm only talking about Plant Vs Zombie now. Speaker wise, u cant expect much from a laptop speaker compared to a dedicated speaker on a desktop.
Harddisk runs slower on a laptop - 5400rpm on lappy vs 7200 rpm on PC. RAM is the same for both - 4GB, thou the lappy can make use of more since its a windows 7 64bit, PC runs at 32bit. Lappy has Nvidia graphics card while PC has to take from RAM. U will realize the difference when u play Transformers - 2sec lag per movement on pc compared to smooth run on lappy.And since my PC is 2 years old, the AMD processor just cant win my lappy's i-5.Thou I have to admit, having a lappy is fun since u can bring it around.

Well, thats the general idea of comparison between lappy and PC, lappy mentioned is a Lenovo Z460. I think I did a great job cnsidering I completed this during Econs class and 50% of the time I was typing without looking - no mistakes too.
