Good for gaming in comparison to what? They are beaten on every single front except mobility by desktops by a huge margin. Laptops are NOT good for gaming. Unless you have a hell of a lot of money. And even so you'd still be better off with a desktop

thats why i said you have to get a high end one...

configure.ap.dell.com/

and thats still crap :/

compared to a desktop

So your saying I should use my $1000-$1200 towards a desktop if I want to use it for gaming and internet?

Yes. For that money a laptop would not even be in the same league power wise...

What about this:

What would you say on that kind of desktop?
Plus is LAN required to connect to the internet? (As you can see I'm not that good with computers

)

Yeah Ethernet port to plug into modem but almost all mobos have this so don't worry. And that computer is absolutely horrible for that price

CUSTOM Desktops FTW. Now mukking around looking for the best price and none of trying to find everything you want for a reasonable price. Buy all the parts off a website and know you're getting everything for cheap and tehn invest a few man hours into building it. You get the PC you want and you make a killer saving.
