Do you play MMORPG on a desktop or on a laptop?

About to gross some people out I am sorry.
I play on laptop. I love playing on it because if I have to use the restroom I can take it with me. I only get to play when my kids are sleeping so I try not give up any time other than to shower. She does really good and keeps up, I hardly ever lag except when husband is on his games and it rarely shuts me out of the game.

 

Haha that's the way Hippy.
No, I mean I reckon I like desktop better. But currently I only own a laptop, and I'm about to breakdown and just say screw it and try out SMITE or LOL on my laptop after buying a good mouse for her.

 

I only play on a laptop because I really don't have the time nor the money to build the PC that I want. Plus, I'd hate to lug it around while living at home or living on campus. Plus, I like being able to move my laptop around and it is easily portable.

 

Currently on a gaming laptop that runs every game I throw at it flawlessly. I decided to buy a laptop simply because I need it for work, I need to carry it around.

 

Truth, the prices have gone down in that aspect. But the portable aspect of a laptop is still handy for my job and for school work for now. Probably after I graduate from college, I'll finally invest in something awesome when I actually have the cash.

 

I play on a laptop because I haven't had a desktop in years. I'm starting to miss having a much more powerful computer though so I'm planning on getting one soon and I'll probably enjoy myself a lot more playing there.

 

I play on a desktop because that's what I have. Also since these games are usually very CPU dependent it's usually better to have a good processor like the ones that you can put in a desktop computer.

 

I only ever play MMORPGs on my desktop computer. The graphics are 100 times better, the sound is booming and the internet is somehow faster. Laptop gamers are pretty casual I think but if you're serious about gaming like I am then you have to have your own set-up. It doesn't matter if you built it or not-- laptops are just not meant for gaming.

 

I play on a potato of a desktop computer. It's a refurbished office computer, but it can play Vindictus at least. Even though I'm on the absolute lowest settings possible, haha. I'm planning on try to either upgrade this one bit by bit, or try and get a better desktop that can manage games better. Both ways will still cost me a pretty penny though.

 

I just have my laptop, so it's my only option. I prefer desktops with cooling systems though, and I refuse to play anything if I can't keep my laptop cool...learned my lesson from lag.

 

We have the same problem as I always just play on a laptop. I haven't bought any cooling systems because I'm lazy but I have a mini fan running behind it if I'm playing haha.

 

Always on a desktop. I need a proper keyboard + mouse setup to really play an MMO. I could not do that with a laptop.

 

You're right. Keyboard on a laptop just does not feel the same as a regular one. Once I even attached an external keyboard and mouse to my laptop just to have that type of feel and it did feel way better.

 

I know, right? I once tried to game from a laptop, but the keyboard felt totally off somehow. And without an external mouse, it`s just impossible to game just with the touchpad.

 

Desktop all the way. Gaming on laptop in general is not something I like, but when I have no choice, it can be fun. But if I have the choice, then a PC battlestation is the best place to game.

 

My buddy used to pvp in wow with a trackpad...he hit duelist in season 2 with it. On rogue. It was hilarious, he was so bad at moving in so many situations but he still was a beast

 

yeah. I guess you can get used to it if you use it long enough but chances are if you don't like it at the start you can't force yourself into it regardless of how much time you spend getting used to it. I have grown used to the touchpads on my older laptops so I don't mind as much but I find the touchpads on newer laptops are a little less comfortable for me for some reason even if they are supposedly more advanced. Ultimately though you're right I think mouse and keyboard really is the best way to go.
