i left my desktop at my rents' place and bought this laptop because not only did I need mobility but I also realized I don't want to spend anywhere near as much time gaming as I did last year. I just moved into an apartment two days ago with five chicks and I haven't gamed once yet. I'm most likely gonna take a competitive cs break until I get my BenQ up here. This way I can still game casually from time to time but im not tweakin out on cs and other addictive shit. It was more of a minor lifestyle change.
