TeeHee.
I know exactly how they don't lag, hope someone post a screen shot of a mac running Skyrim in max graphics soon.

There are little PCs who can run Skyrim even on meds.
Oh, and... GRAPHICS FAPPER
You can't call someone "graphics fapper" just because you can't have them (if you use a Mac, ofc), Macs will never run games decently, only if those relatively idiot designers change their ideology from "appearance" to "performance".
P.S.: Skyrim graphics are made to be enjoyed, i enjoy them. Problem?
I personaly preffer laptops, i can do stuff anywhere

Best joke ever.
XBox (console example) stuff:XBox: R$1400,00 (something like 950 dollars)
3RL Fix: R$500,00 (around 350 dollars) (and you will pay this like from 5 to 5 months, because there is no updated XBox here in Brazil)
Original XBox game: R$150,00 (close to 100 dollars)
Now computer stuff:Decent computer: US$1100,00
Video Card, processor, RAM...: US$700,00
PC Game: R$40,00 (around 25 dollars)

Computer must be powerful if you are programming a powerful games.
It don't has to be a game, you even need a fast one for some math/algorithm.

You fail, i live in brazil, not wherever you do where stuff is cheap and good, 3RL = 3 Red Lights, everyone knows it. And 100 dollars can be cheap to you, but to me not.

Pfft, FUCK xbox. You have to pay to play online.
Buy a cracked ps3. It will cost like $200-50 for console and $50 for a crack.
If you hate Brazil so much why don't you try exchange student program to live in another country for one year?

3 Red Lights is called Red Ring Of Death, not 3RL.
Denisgrad: You hate Xbox because you have to pay for Xbox Live? Its like 5€ every month, lol.
PSN will cost in the future. So PS3-9-years-old-fanboys are fucked.
Also the new Xbox is coming 2013/2014. Sony don't want to make a new PS4, only little handhelds like this PSP-crap.
Microsoft earns more money with Xbox as Sony with the PS3. And the Kinect makes more money = more stuff for the xbox = more money = Sony is fucked.
Mindfuck? Meh.
Back to topic:
Microsoft pwnz everyone.
PC is still the best.
DannyDeth has writtenPeople, PC = Personal Computer, therefore a laptop falls under the rather general term/abbreviation ( not sure which is the right word to use, lol ) 'PC'.
Fuck all who say desktop's are better than laptops, my R40k lappie is better than most desktop setups.
Also, fuck all who say Macs/iMacs/whatever_apple_products_you_can_think_of are better than the Windows/Linux/BSD/anything_but_mac_os-running PC.

Laptops are usually for mobility--since it is smaller, a laptop that has the same specs as a desktop will be more expensive.

No, because PS3 crack in Brazil costs more than the console does (and the console is fucking too expensive, if i buy one here, i would be paying like 900 dollars for it). And i would still lag in most game servers because few people play online in this floating piece of dirt.
And do you think i'll live here? Haha, the only thing that keeps me here is my family, in the near future i will have to go to a University and i am damn not going to study game design here of course, California all the way (one of the best, if not the best place for studying game design [and i personally like it]).

In Brazil we call it 3RL, but nvm.

Umm, just crack it yourself, Jeez.

I'm happy with a gaming computer that can run every single thing they release... no need for console atm.
