Ok, I have a slight dilemma and I need yall's advice.
I have a good gaming computer (See specs), but lately I am not using the power AT ALL. I am mainly surfing the internet and playing older games like Doom 3. I figure that I could probably get about $1200 out of my rig, complete with the 22" monitor and water cooler. With that I could get a gaming laptop with a 7950GT, 8600M, or 8700M and those would probably play the only games that I am going to be interested in within the next year. I also like the idea of it being portable.
Now I have noticed that laptops hold thier value ALOT longer than desktops, so even if I got sick of it, I could sell it for near what I have in it. So my question to you is should I keep the desktop, or sell it and go for a lesser powered, but mobile laptop?
