edit: if you're commuting its not viable to bring in a 20KG (PC+Monitor) ._.

Yes, I realize that, I'm not full retard all the time
But still, are you going to be doing any serious gaming while your commuting?

kitamesume:
depends on which game it is, but yes theres a probability that i'd squeeze game while on a bus since each travel takes 15-30mins depending on traffic.

although thats not the point, i mean if you don't have your own car then transporting a 20KG setup between houses isnt as cool as you'd think, plus if that lan party were to be done in shops like starbucks then bringing in a whole desktop is plain retarded and i doubt starbucks would allow you to plug such a thing.

Bob2004:
Or, for example, I'm going to Japan for a year. I can't go without anime and games for that long, so I need a computer, but there's no way I can take my desktop over there on the plane (and having it delivered is too expensive to consider). Likewise, I can't just buy a desktop while I'm there, because I'll only have it for a year before I have to fly back again. So using a laptop for my gaming is my only option.

Redid the test with with vsync and every other single piece of bling off, no movement, standing still in in a non populated area. Got 49-54fps at 768 and 46-51 at 1080. HD4000 would seem to hate swamps. Having said that, the game looks as if it was being played on a ps1. On the same settings in the same place, my 650m gives me fps of 87-90 at either resolution and 28-34 fps at maxed out settings under the same conditions.

I will have to revise my statement, HD4000 is enough to play in the general world/pve at medium settings with occasional fps lag, minus some slower zones (like the swamp before). However, it is not strong enough for either PvP or WvWvW.

What concerns gaming on laptops, I'm mostly satisfied, I wouldn't be on an ultrabook, but this thing is I'd say strong enough for it to be comfortable. And while I rarely game "on the go", it isn't quite uncommon for me to play a game or two once I get where I'm going. For gaming while in commute or the like, I'd say a tablet is superior.

What's the specifications on the GT3? I mean, just saying "it's 2x more powerful than the HD 4000" or whatever doesn't give me an idea. I guess they didn't release that information yet?
