Thread: Gaming laptop or desktop

I have a few issues on buying:

A friend said that desktops deteriorate when there is moisture in the air (rainy season). Is it true?

My father wants to buy a laptop and I will use it only for gaming; which are good gaming laptops ?

What would be better - a gaming laptop or desktop?

Moisture does gradually corrode the surface of cabinets, power supplies, ete., if they are not properly coated, and moisture can cause short circuits inside your cabinet, but generally this does not happen if your PC is used regularly. It's a good idea to plug out and pack stuff up if you will not be using it for some time, say, more than a couple of weeks. You can alternatively stick sachets of silica gel to the inside of your cabinet as this absorbs the moisture and helps delay its ill effects. Gaming laptops are costlier than that. You can get a general-purpose notebook for that price but if you want to play games the Dell Studio XPS 16 is the bare minimum you should look at. I recommend buying a desktop PC - you will get a more powerful configuration.
