Money's*
That's not the point.
If the OP has the right to post his findings, so do I.
What I stated might be obvious to you, but it is a truthful and sincere statement. Other's may not find it obvious.
Also noting how someone might save money by buying a gaming rig instead falls into the category of advice, suffice it to your understanding of what advice is.
It does not matter if the OP was not looking for advice. The point of a thread is to open discussion, regardless of what people reply with. It's called having an open dialogue, which apparently this forum lacks. It is understandable that there will be bias on this site because the domain has the word Mac in it, but that is not the point. Bias is everywhere. You're biased. We are all biased one way or another.
But I digress...
Let's go back to my original statement.
That is clearly good advice. You will get 10x the performance and even save money if you throttle down some of the parts you want to save money on. Will it be in a portable package? No. Obviously it won't be.
Was the OP's reason for buying a laptop just to game? Possibly. Is the OP a rare gamer that uses his machine for productivity but wants to game once in a while? Possibly. These two things do not matter. At all.
A simple gesture of good faith is clearly not up to standards here at Mac Rumors.
Your biased opinions and inherent name calling is appalling. It seems that some of you have the tendency to attack anyone who is clearly trying to state his/her own opinions.
