I can get a 1ghz p3 laptop with geforce2 go in it and 256mb ram and 20 gb hard drive for 2800 from dell its an inspiron 8000 and sell my desktop....or just upgrade my desktop.

that all depends if u just wanna look cool with a nice laptop or actually use it for what its for. Otherwise I would upgrade the desktop. 2800 dollars would put u a killer rig together.
 
I would upgrade the desktop.

My brother got a laptop 3 years ago, and it's expensive to upgrade. It's also pretty outdated now.

Just make a list of pros and cons of laptops vs desktops to help you decide. 🙂
 
Are you looking for something portable? If it's just going to sit on your desk all day, then upgrade your laptop. You could do some killer upgrades for half of what you'd pay for the laptop.
 
I am trying to picture how you upgrade a desktop for $2800. It escapes me. I put together general prices for a friend for a really nice system and it only hit ~$2500 for a vapochilled 1.33ghz(overclocked of course) and decked out.

thinking to himself (outloud), "What would I do.............." and 😀
 
but i will be going back and forth between school and home so i would like to be able to do it all and not have to bother with disks.

get a cheaper laptop, lighter... and upgrade your puter.

i mean, no fool would pay more than $800 for your system. so... $2000 for the laptop in the end.

get a $2000 laptop =P
 
the cheap TFT LCD on laptops ruin the gaming experience, not to mention you are paying a bucketload for unnecessary R&D costs. 2.8 grands is a hellova a lot money, i would rather fix the desktop up all the way and get a cheap laptop if the need persists.
 
I bought an IBM Thinkpad 765L for at home on the weekends, and leave my desktop at school until the week before finals. The thinkpad was cheap ($340), and it does everything I need it to at home (browsing, mp3s, office2k). No USB, although I might just get a pcmcia adapter
