Hi. i want to buy a new rig but can't really decide which one to take. The first one I was thinkin about was this:

But I was also thinkin on either the A17V2 or S17. The thing is that I'm going to college but I'm also a international student. Meaning that I will be going back home next year and therefor I don't know if it is a such a good idea to take a desktop. It takes big place, the weight and a laptop is pretty easy to take with me. But as for performence, do you think the laptops are good? I mean can the A17V2 handle COD 4 and in a few month cod 6? Because that is my fav game.

Thnx for any advise!

What is your budget and what res. will you be gaming at? I think you should get a desktop personally. It's probably just as safe to fly a desktop over the ocean as it is an elephant.

OH you are looking at the extreme prebuild, that is a kickarse build.

you need to be carefull transporting that desktop. I like desktops better cause they are more powerfull and you can upgrade them easy.

I know the 260M is a great card so it should do you fine but keep in mind laptops get hot pretty easy, and then there is batter life.

Yes I would take the desktop, not only because it's cheaper but there is some nice stuff in that desktop. But I don't know how much these desktops weight and the measure. But anyway I think it isn't safe to travel with a desktop while it is in the suitcase. They are tossing those suitcases pretty hard..

Wait for a week or so.  Alex told me that they're doing a refresh on the laptop models as well, and judging by the desktop refresh, the laptop refresh should kick arse!
