And yet you just claimed you “need” a computer for the internet (when one can access it via a game console, iPad, and many other devices).You sound highly knowledgeable when it comes to technologyWrong. Buying an XBox to play games is stupid because you already need a computer for the internet...
I am, I have worked for Intel, IBM, HP, Sequent, and many other computer companies, including game companies .
If you worked for any of those companies, you did so as a janitor
That is silly because game consoles, iPads, smartphones, etc., all have cpu processors and are computers, except have limitations in terms of accessories like keyboard and mouse, which operating systems you can install, etc.
A general purpose computer is vastly superior, easier to maintain, more adaptable, and easier to use.
There is hardly and savings by going with a special purpose and limited game console, tablet, smartphone, etc.
The larger the desktop computer, the easier it is to use and update as necessary.
I do not even like laptops, because they are so hard to open, and you have to replace the heatsink heat conducting paste every couple of years. They also can't easily have their video processor upgraded.
Face it, large desktop console computers are the best way to do for all computer uses, including gaming.
