Hello.

Lets see, you want 24 Gig of RAM?!
Even chromebooks can beat that!

You want a pair of 24 inch screens?
There are docking stations that give you up to 7 graphics cards, yes, DDR5.
Look up desktop replacement.
But, MOST gamers do not have the money for a super killer system, so they have a gaming console.
That is why Gamestop is everywhere.
Nokia tried with the N-Gage, but it was not quite a gaming console, and not quite a phone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_(device)
Moore's law should take care of that.

Again, I'll have to school you on things you don't know about.

First, a PC gamer and a console gamer are two different animals. There are tons of games that are available ONLY on the PC platform, and many of them are the MMORPG games like World of Warcraft or Elder Scrolls online. PC vs Console gaming are two different markets with two different customers.

The Chromebook laptop you linked to is great for web browsing and email. For anything beyond that (Photo/Video editing, Gaming, etc.) it simply will not work. No matter what specs the laptop has (which you missed the part about RAM vs Storage) it doesn't run a compatible OS for anything beyond basic web browsing.

I'd like to see these docking stations you speak of with "7 graphics cards." The GPU has to interface with the computer motherboard. You're not going to get that kind of integration in a docking station. Yes, you can run two monitors from it, but you're not going to add additional graphics cards just by using a docking station.

Also, yes, MOST PC gamers do in fact have the money to spend on a "super killer system." Take a look at ANY gaming website or forum and you'll see countless people who are hardcore gamers that build and upgrade top of the line systems. The gaming market is one place in desktop computing that it still bringing in a major profit for the part manufacturers.

Hello.

The true docking station, and NOT a simple bar with connectors, brings the system IO lines to a box.
I picked the chromebook as it is so pathetic.
But, 7 monitors on a laptop docking station?
External GPU for laptops. Supercharge your graphics. - Hardware Hangout - Neowin Forums
I have done it, just to see if it could be done, by borrowing 7 docking stations.
This shows a kludged together box but commercial models do exist.
And, the economic slowdown changed things for a LOT of people.
Game consoles replaced that expensive box for a lot of people.
I knew one "Super Gamer", who lost his car, and then his apartment, all because he "Had" to have the latest "gaming station".
He finally offed himself.
Yes, there are gamers who that is their entire life, a job is only a way to feed the habit.
They have no friends, no social circles, just gaming buddies they play against, in some room, connected by internet.
When reality sets in, they can not deal with it.
So, there is no need for an education, I have seen this first hand.
Thank you.

So lets see, you're saying that instead of taking the easy route by building a desktop with multiple GPU's to have 4+ monitors, it's better to use several docking stations hacked together, and according to the link you provided, plug all this stuff in with wires everywhere as it sits in the way on a desk. Yep, that makes perfect sense.

I picked the chromebook as it is so pathetic.

Huh? You first mentioned the chromebook as an alternative to needing a computer, "you want 24 Gig of RAM?!
Even chromebooks can beat that!" . So why would you choose something pathetic as your example??

Obviously in your reality, if one person does something then everyone else must be the same. So you knew one gamer that had no friends and committed suicide. That must mean that all gamers are like that. Yep, that perfectly does not describe a typical gamer.

I have to hand it to you, you're a pretty good internet troll. I usually don't waste time on trolls, but you've succeeded in getting several responses from me. Cheers mate.

Hello.

First off, I took the extreme example in each case.
I know of gamers that do their thing and are perfectly happy.
And, no, the very idea of 7 monitors running off one laptop? what would be the point, besides to see if it would even work, it does.
I am NOT a gamer, unless you can call playing Sim City gaming.
If it runs on Android, and is free, I might consider it.
Remember Flappy Bird? pretty simple, but millions went for it.
Look around you, most people live a pretty boring life.
I keep entertained by using my phone as a true computer connected to a radio, and that is what it is.
Did you know that most phones will go all the way down to about 390 MHz?
FM, about half a watt, but they can do it.
So, 7 monitors on a laptop? why not try?

dual GPU's with GDDR5? in a laptop... easy

https://www.falcon-nw.com/laptops/drx

Dual 880m in SLi , yes, IN A LAPTOP pushing 6GB of GDDR5 each. 12GB of VRAM.


dual Quad cores? thats why they make 6 and 8 core CPU's now.

more than 24 GB of RAM? look above. Falcon Northwest DRX uses 32 GB of DDR 3 1600MHz - PC3-12800

already exists, though its a 17" screen. HP has a 20" for the HDX9000



cowthief... what are you smoking? id love to try it!


7 cards... PFFT!!

can we seriously get rid of this guy? just plugging up the forums with horse-poop!

Consoles will NEVER, and i cannot stress this enough..... N E V E R !! catch up to the flexibility nor the power of a stand alone Desktop.

did you account get hijacked or something? seriously, all this guberment radios crap, now this IT crap! i've been trailing your posts. NOTHING BUT CRAP!

Y'all hear that? I think it's the sound of someone backpedaling.
