yes and also with newegg you can get very good spec laptops for a low
price.

Hi Josh, that sounds like an awesome racing game to be sure. :)
The laptop I was mentioning which belongs to a friend is actually much higher
specced than that, so make no mistake that laptops can perform like this.
His machine is designed to run the most current intensive industry-standard
image rendering software. Previously this level of software needed to be run on
machines like the Mac Pro etc.
Check out Alienware. You can completely custom-build a laptop from them which
can be quite something.

Of course though, obviously,since desktops can be customized as well, as you
say, there will be people who wish to do that. -Nothing wrong with that! :)
Please understand, I am not saying anything personally against desktops, :)
it's just that I think we will be seeing a lot less production / availability
of desktop hardware. In fact, this is already happening in the mainstream.
Have an awesome night and do share more about the racing game if you like. I
totally dug 3D driving games when I could see.
Cheers!

there will always be people who want to tinker and upgrade their devices and
play very demanding games so I think gaming and entertainment desktops will
still be around. some racing games my son plays require the latest and greatest
core i7 with 8 or more gigs of ram just to play them.

Unfortunately this is not what I see happening.
People are still needing to use laptops at this point for work tasks which used
to need to be done on desktops.
Desktops are now already being relegated to only the most extreme, demanding
tasks because portables have now become so powerful that they can do
industry-standard work in such fields as visual design, audio engineering etc.
I have a friend who is a designer who runs all his software on a very high-end
laptop so he can work from anywhere. Just a few years ago, running this sort of
software on a laptop was simply unheard-of.
Personally, I still also need a laptop to do my development work. All of the
developers I work with, need to do this due to processing power requirements or
simple logistics in developing for mobile platforms.
So pretty much the laptop is not going anywhere soon.
However, for many other work tasks, it is true. Mobile devices and tablets are
gaining momentum.
-And obviously, for non-work activities the mobile / tablet scene is already
overtaken everything else by far.
Thanks and great topic!
Cheers!

Hi Charles,
I can see where you're coming from there. but look at it like this. Mobile
devices have only really evolved properly over the last 10 years. We've have
had reasonably powerful desktop pc's for longer than 10 years now. we've
been playing games on pc's for a lot longer than 10 years. On the iPhone now
you can play flight simulaters, games like max payne, on desktops you've
been able to do that for a good 15 years. But 10 years ago your average
mobile device the most advanced thing it could do is wap and that wasn't
really that good because for 1 thing it was so limited. They have made leaps
and bounds much more so than desktop or even laptop pc's have done. your
conventional laptop I would say is slowly on it's way out and being replaced
by tablet computers such as iPads nexus devices etc.
