    -How much lower power consumption does the laptop produce then the desktop if they are running the same game and backgrounds?

    -Ive seen some LCD screens of desktops who really look nice ingame but how do the laptop screen compare since then even reflect a little.

    -While playing FPS's, isnt it uncomfortable having the keyboard atached to the monitor, i mean your hand and neck is always fixed in the same position since they both cant be placed or put higher.

    -What do you have the be aware of over time when u own a gamers laptop?

    -Can the CPU of the Laptop be replaced? Cause i think ive some old ones do.

    1. are you asking how much less power does it use? are you worried about the price? it would probably be like 30% or 40% less depending on the laptop, and the desktop you are comparing it to.

    2. well they are nearly just as good, and i wouldn't worry about the difference.

    3. its different, but you soon get use to it.

    4. are you asking what i use to keep the time? a watch, or the little screen on my g1 or myu phone, or a wall clock. the list is nearly endless.

    5. not usually.
