    I like Laptops for simple tasks like web browsing. Mine has even shown itself to be a competent gaming machine (it played Penumbra and Irem Arcade Hits just fine).

    For serious gaming I like desktops.

    I don't hate laptops.

    Pretty much all they mean is that I can't play the newest top-of-the-line games immediately when they come out and I have to wait several years.  Except I already normally wait a decade or so anyway, effectively.

    I don't hate my laptop since Delta helped and I can play a limited number of games on it.

    "Delta"? Is that a pet name for your laptop?

    You can change. You can.
    Delta is a user here.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    My laptop runs just fine unless I try to emulate PS2 games with it.

    Is there even ANY PS2 emulator that runs properly, on ANY hardware?

    I don't mind laptops. I'm a college student so my views might be skewed though. Power wise, a decent $1000 laptop should be able to play most recent games(with the last year or so) on medium and the older games at high with ease. This ignores outliers such as Crysis.

    Emulation is pain to get right for any system. So there is not ps2 emulator that runs right on any hardware yet.

    I don't hate laptops. Far from it. I appreciate the ease of computing and the portability of a laptop, as well as the comfort such a device and the indespensibility and utility that portable computers bring to business and higher studies.

    As I do not have a business and am not currently seeking higher studies, I do not need a laptop in the slightest.

    Gaming laptops are a scam and a abomination, though.

    Yeah, for a college student it's not necessarily an absolute must, but the vast majority of people I know have one. So few people have desktops. And yet despite all the apparent laptops, so many people still use the computers in the library and computer clusters elsewhere. I guess they don't have computers at all?
