Mobile Gaming At Desktop Speeds

Posted by timothy on from the or-is-it dept.

DigitalBiscuit writes: "Today's leading edge laptop PCs are packing serious power under their thin little hoods, enough that even the hard core gamer may sit up and take note. Here's a full showcase (dismantled to show you the innards) with benchmarks on a Dell unit that employs NVIDIA's new GeForce4 440 Go GPU and a Pentium 4M (mobile) processor at 1.6GHz. Take one of these babies to the local LAN meet and be the envy of your Mountain Dew chugging cohorts." Of course, this will cost a lot more than similarly powerful desktop, but some people don't seem to mind that tradeoff.

    I will never fully understand the desire, to beat someone else's 3D mark score. I've seen LAN battle, after LAN battle, of geeks screaming over frames, and individual points. These people spend so much money that they most often can't afford, on every little component in their box, so that i can show up, with my 128 RAM, 850 Thunderbird, and Matrox Millenium G450, and Own them all at every single game we play...
