New laptop to play MWIF

[juntoalmar]

I have been playing MWiF for a few years using a 13' laptop, and now a 15' one. But this definitely will make life easier. Best option (maybe not cheaper) to play MWiF on the go:

Yeah I was down in Vegas for CES and bought one of those. Got a middle seat on the flight back and really pissed off the people on either side of me.

I think you just need to fly only with your allies and it should be ok... [:D]

battery life of,

it boots into windows, loads everything and then dies with lack of battery.

so not very portable either, as a vga card needed to power 3 displays, times the cpu and memory use,

equals either low performance or short battery life, or a thicker than normal brick to power it so weight means it's a laptop/desktop so is an expense rich git toy with high bragging rights, where a normal user would needs a cheaper option and faster and better would just buy a normal pc in a small tower or mini desktop.

the laptop is a concept only one atm, while it may get built, the price and usefulness is suspect at best






a better and much cheaper option

Ergotron DS Series DS100 Quad Monitor Desk Stand (4 times 24")

Intel Core i5 6600K @ 4.5GHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Graphic, 16GB of DDR4 ram, a good sized SSD

for a grand £1000.00

minus the screens, or if you wish for bigger, go max which is all i could find (4 times 30")

Gaming PC maker Razer has unveiled a concept laptop with three 4K screens at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.
The firm claims Project Valerie is the world's first portable laptop of its kind.
Two additional screens slide out from the central display via an automatic mechanism.
One analyst praised the design, noting that gamers were increasingly splashing out on high-end laptops.
All three screens are 17in (43cm) in size.
When folded up and closed, the laptop is 1.5in thick. Razer said this was comparable to many standard gaming laptops, which tend to be chunkier than home and office devices.
"We thought, 'This is crazy, can we do this?'," a company spokesman told the BBC.
"The answer was: 'Yeah, we are crazy enough, we can do it'."
Project Valerie is still a prototype and Razer has not yet published a possible release date or price.

Gamers commonly used more than one monitor these days, said gaming analyst Jonathan Wagstaff at Context.
"Although it is unusual, it doesn't surprise me," he told the BBC.
"It is something people will buy - I think it will sell."
He added that increasing numbers of gamers - particularly those who travel to e-sports tournaments - are in the market for portable computers with high specs.
But Mr Wagstaff added that industry data he had reviewed suggested widening interest in such machines from architectural and graphic design firms, as well.
"That is interesting, that is traditionally the territory of Apple's products," he said.
Project Valerie was just one of several gaming laptops shown off at CES.
Computer maker Acer unveiled a large, 21in model called the Predator 21X, which costs $8,999 (£7,250).
Consumer electronics giant Samsung also launched its first gaming laptop - called Samsung Notebook Odyssey - in 17in and 15in models.


CRAZY $70,000 GAMING PC BUILD

the world is full of nutters with too much money and not enough common sense, found this pc online and it's what some one purchased or what they could spend so put the parts in a basket it you really wanted to throw money way on a pc in one build, yes it would play world of tanks well, then again at that price buy your own tank maybe[:D]

Actually, this post was just a joke, not a serious recommendation...

[zakblood]

i got the joke[:D]

already seen the laptop and found it funny myself, just some nutters are already trying to order it, so the joke is how many in the world are daft enough to spend such high amounts on silly things, just because they can, no matter how unpractical it is either.

when better and cheaper choices are already out, golf plated laptops with diamonds in, etc are silly, 3 screens in a portable, is dafter still for normal users with half a brain.

don't mind me or my replies, i'm as daft as they come most days[;)]

I mean, it makes sense for the company to sell it just for the visibility it gets. But buying it? You are right. You can get much more for your money. Unless you are a professional player (video games, or poker) who uses it as a way of getting much more than what you pay for it.

Anyway, just look at what cars some people buy... not the best cost/benefit option either.
