For some reason laptop gaming is seen as black and white here ManBearPig. I also still have my Alienware with the 4930MX & 780m SLI. However I'll be selling it for the Clevo P751DM-G when it's released.
You cannot carry a desktop(mini itx or not) as easy as a gaming laptop. Just last week I took my Alienware laptop to my friends house so a bunch of my friends can play some games I had on steam. All I needed was my laptop, ac adapter and four xbox one controllers. Simply plug into the tv through HDMI and you're good to go.
With a desktop it'd be much heavier and bulkier, I need more things, mouse, kb, etc.
If someone wants to get into PC gaming but wants a gaming laptop, it seems to be looked down upon here, I don't know why. This is why I spend more time on the NBR forums.
Does it matter if a PC gamer is using a laptop or desktop? I mean I still have a desktop(see mod rigs) but I like being able to take my laptop to work or a friends house and game.
And it packs a punch as well. Dual 780m SLI can beat a single 980. It's almost 980Ti level and that's the GPUs from 2013. 980M sli easily defeats Titan X and can keep up with 970 SLI.
Yes you pay a premium but you can take it anywhere like a regular laptop(they have thin laptops as well, so can't say they're bulky).
