[QUOTE="Sexton Hardcastle, post: 99944, member: 2896"] You can add my name to the camp which would tell you that you would definitely get much more bang for your buck with a desktop computer compared to a laptop. I don't know what your other computing needs are, and don't know if it's more than TPA that you'd be buying for, but you would definitely get a lot more gaming power out of a desktop, particularly if you build it yourself. Anytime you buy a laptop with the term "gaming" attached to it, your expense just went up by a lot, but the available gaming power didn't go up in lockstep with the price. Again, I don't know what all of your needs are with a computer, or budget or anything like that, and only offer my opinion on particular topic: bang for buck as it pertains to PC gaming. The nice thing is that it's not like you have to run out this morning and get one immediately, and you have a chance to see where things end up as far as TPA's system requirements go. I'll also add this: IMO, you don't want to have a computer which only plays the game on its lowest settings from the outset. Farsight will be adding the directx 11 features, which will require more computing horsepower, and I can only imagine that members of the modding community will also produce features which will be more demanding of our computers. I would imagine you'd like some wiggle room in this area, and not be hamstrung right off the bat. Good luck, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread to see how it goes for you. :) [/QUOTE]
