Do you use desktop or laptop for gaming?

I use laptop now (Asus x550vb) I got 50 fps in dota2, csgo, ~30 in Far cry 4. nvidia gt740m. Dont buy laptop for gaming, buy desktop, its more poferfull for cheaper price.

i using laptop, but i cant play many games on it especially from last year i can play nearly none of recently released games, but i am going to buy desktop

Only own and game on a desktop.
Nowadays you could use a laptop but I'm still sceptical about heat generation/cooling (especially when you take it to bed and it sits on the blanket or smth) and battery life.

For me a laptop would be used mainly due to more comfort or when travelling. In both scenarios it's IMHO not suited for gaming.
Getting comfy and still be able to do serious gaming with mouse+mousepad you would need a good setup and half of the time the power cable would be connected also.

In terms of desktop FPS. I have OC'ed 980 SLI (since I ran into the 4GB problem of my previous 970 SLI) and well... fps for example in BF4 don't drop under 100 with everything max, most of the time its over 150 (Everything on ultra with max. AA)
In LoL its somewhere around 700.
Far Cry 3 was on the 970's around 100-60 with everything maxxed + 8xMSAA so it should be around 75-120 now

I'm using a custom built desktop (4790k/16GB memory/MSI 970 2-Way SLI). I was gaming on a 7-8 year old Sony Vaio Potato for years (Core 2 Duo @ 2.53GHz/4GB memory/Radeon HD 4650). She served me well, that old potato.

Desktop @home, laptop during the week cuz I'm in another town, but my poor PC is old :(. My laptop is DELL Inspiron 3537, u can search for it if u want, it serves me well in gaming and I recommend it!

PC for everything at home, laptop for everything outside of home.

Desktop, I'm using ATI HD 7790, Dragon Age Inquisition at medium with constant 60fps no AA, never tried on high but Raptr insists on high-ultra. I always turn off AA though.

Desktop, but I also use my old notebook to play indie and old games.

Because i moving a lot, so im using laptop as my gaming rig. Im using Asus RoG laptop. So far with all new game that out now i still can play it at high with decent fps :D

I use my desktop :P

Desktop! way better! I did play a couple of hours on my old laptop b4 getting my new Rig thou, it was okay at basic stuff like aoe2 ;)

I used a laptop before and realised that it wasn't good enough anymore. Decided to build a desky and the difference is a lot, never going back lol

2 years old 17" laptop Asus N76V. I still can play new games on medium in lower resolution - 1600x900 or 720p in worst case and it's sound great. But when I buy it, it costs like 2 similar desktops. It's posible to buy laptop for gaming and use it long time, but it's costs a lot of money and you can't upgrade only GPU. In thouse days good CPU, RAM, HDD/SSD and etc. can service you at least 4 years (usualy even more if you buy the best for the moment), but GPU max 2 with compromise.

Where is the poll?! I came here just for the poll!

Desktop

Desktop I put together black friday of 2014. Farcry 4, shadows of mordor and AC:Unity are are beautifully smooth on ultra @1440p. Worth the $$$.

mainly desktop but my laptop is more powerful so I do use that on occasion

Currently, on my Laptop. I miss my desktop but I can't lug around my Battlestation with me as I have to travel a lot due to my work. Its a 2 year old laptop, not really a gaming laptop but got one of those desktop replacements, quite heavy but it had what I needed at the time. I hate the amount of heat generation on Laptops but I have no other choice.

As for fps, its not much, I get around 55 to 60 fps if I'm lucky ( and that is usually for older games or MOBA like LoL etc ) but it'll drop to 10 or even 5 for heavy duty games like Firefall etc

Yes i use laptop because of comfort(I dont have money for good PC ) and for sound which laptop makes when he is dying :)

Desktop for a large scale hardware expansion
Build many attachment into mah PC Desktop (^^)

Android tablet gamer here. Unfortunately many games use the tablet's native resolution, which means that for example I have to set KOTOR graphical options to low just because my tablet has 2560x1600 resolution. Even then, FPS could be better in some places. Still, it's enjoyable enough.
