I don't understand why anyone still buys/builds a PC tower anymore

You can get a serious high powered laptop, that can handle the most intense games, for 2k or less. And it's portable. And there are high quality usb powered aux monitors to add screenspace. I guess some people are just too old school to know there are sweet new options.

I'm in the same boat. I've only bought gaming laptops. Made so much more sense for when I was in college, portability, and I don't need an actual desk. And these days, a gaming laptop at around 1k, esp with seasonal sales, will get you very good specs

@deadgerbil exactly! And if you do spring for the 2k laptop, you've got a real powerhouse!

@come2gether I would be hard pressed to pay 2k for any computer lol imo that's trespassing into overkill

@deadgerbil I've only gone as high as 1200 myself, and that kicked butt. And lasted no less than 4 years
