Traditionally, laptop is not so good for gaming. There are several reasons to it. Firstly, laptop were designed to be lower performance than that of desktop so that it does not use much energy. That is to say, most game cannot be played with good video settings and yet to gain considerable amount of frame per second.
Secondly, laptop when use for heavy gaming, the battery would not last long besides the fact that when one plays on battery alone, the performance of laptop drops even more. Most of the time, people can hardly get 1 hour of play time if they are on 14 inches screen laptop.
Fortunately, today we have third generations mobile processors which allows the efficient use of energy while not compromising on the performance too much. Laptop today can handle games like GTA 5, battlefield 3. The battery life can last for two hours and more on gaming. So, now you can have a laptop suitable for gaming and work as it has the performance almost equal to those of desktop. Just make sure you choose the right laptop. Do your own study on laptop processors and video card. Most computer salesmen know nothing but saying everything is good or the more expensive it is, the better it is. Having the necessary knowledge can save you from a lot of trouble and also a few hundred dollars.

I would definitely say that laptops are suitable for gaming and there are plenty of pc games out there that you can buy that are incredibly awesome. However you can also find different games online for free to play as well. Their are arcade websites you can use and you can also download roms and emulators which can let you play different games and different consoles on your computer.
I've been playing a lot of pokemon on my computer recently on a website called playr.org. They have a variety of different gameboy, nintendo and other older console games on there website that you can play for free.

hi,
for me its yes,laptop is also suitable for gaming as long as the specs of the laptop is for gaming too like the video card because there are some video card that can not handle some games because of having high pixels of color.and even the memory too will affect the games.

Yes, you can play games from the laptop. Of course, not the games that need rough handling. I mean you got to press the keyboard repeatedly hard and fast. Otherwise, the keyboard will had a bad damage. Moreover, the keyboard of the laptop is hard to find replacement. Unlike the desktop computer, you can replacement much more easily. That too we must still have to take care of the keyboard. We are not rich and we still got budget to go after.

Hello Tushavi!
I am not very wise when it comes to desktop computers and laptops but I am sure you can find the laptop you need that would play the games you want to play. Just visit a store near you that sells them and ask them all these important questions.
Hope you find what you are looking for and all goes well so you can play your games!
Happy MyLotting.

I would suggest you go online to see what the capabilities of laptops are. You can probably find one that can handle games. Before you buy one, make sure it has what you need.

It is pretty much the same when you are choosing a laptop that you will use with gaming as it is when you are setting up a custom laptop to play a lot of graphics heavy games.
With that said, there are a lot of laptops that are made with the main purpose of being graphics computers.
Unfortunately, the thing is when you are getting a gaming laptop, it is going to be something that is much more expensive than a run of the mill laptop.

i think AMD processor is the most suitable for gaming PC level. At least 2GB of PC's RAM for the best quality of the game you installed

I have been using laptop for playing games. I bought my laptop with computer gaming purpose. If you want to buy laptop for gaming purpose, try to choose a laptop that fulfill your favorite games requirements. But if you want to play many games that each of the game requires different kind of VGA card, you need to use PC because you can install 2 or more different VGA cards on your PC.

Only an expensive and top spec laptop would be suitable for gaming. Modern games have fast moving so you need a dedicated graphics on the laptop. Once you buy a laptop that doesn't have a good gaming performance it could be upsetting for you. A laptop works best plugged into the electricity plug. The screen is bright and the laptop doesn't run out of power.

Yes you can find many high-end specs Laptops for playing high-end games like GTA 5. And If you get any problem on playing games in Laptop you can buy a Game Joystick which is good for playing games.
