230$ Laptop or 200$ New 3DS XL?
 
I'm tired of mobile gaming and I want to go back to PC gaming, fortunately my birthday is coming next month and I can get a brand new gadget. The problem is I have chosen a lot of gadgets but I just stuck with two to choose, a 3DS and an Asus Chromebook C300, I want to get a 3DS for Pokémon, Mario, Zelda and Super Smash Bros. but I want a laptop so I can play some games I used to play that I really miss and love that are still pretty good today (Lugaru, Roblox, Minecraft, some Emulators I could play hundreds of games on, and Graal that doesn't lag ), I can't choose between the two can you guys help me decide?

I don't think that laptop is geared towards gaming so you'll have a pretty bad time running games on it.

Unless you're willing to spend more (a lot more) on a decent gaming computer, then I'd say go with the 3DS.

One of the reasons why I want a new laptop is for getting back together with my friends from old games, Watching YouTube videos and fixing my spar record (Touch controls aren't good enough
for me), And I'm not into any games like GTA V or something similar so I'm not really worried about running high-end games.

That laptop is poop

I don't think a $230 laptop will run anything lol ESPECIALLY Minecraft. If you want at least a decent laptop to play games on, then spend at least 400-600 because those laptops have stronger processor. Though i3 is meant for workstation but can still play a mediocre amount of game, i5 is for gaming.

So, OP, just stick with a New 3DS or if you can, wait till June can see what Nintendo's next big console is and maybe buy that

I have a quick question. You said you want to go back to PC gaming, so what happen to your previous PC?

I'd go for the 3DS...a $230 laptop won't get you anywhere in gaming. Especially a chromebook. Laptop would be a waste of $230.

Yeah a $230 laptop would struggle running some browser games I'd imagine, much less higher end ones. I'd just go for the 3DS. Or if you only care about the game selection and want to save money at the price of quality a 2DS works fine, which is what I have.

Why would he want to buy a fu*king 3Ds that **** is garbage. Just save your money and buy a gaming laptop or build your own pc

3DS has some good games.

5hift 02-17-2016 01:02 AM

Yeah honestly just go for the 3DS if you're not into any big Triple A game titles like GTA or CoD.

Nintendo games are great and the ones for the 3DS are pretty cool.

If I had a choice between picking between emulating old-gen games on a computer and a 3DS I'd honestly pick the 3DS.

Everett 02-17-2016 01:07 AM

I finally decided and I'm going for the 3DS, thank you all for your help.

Oh y'know, I was pretty young and ignorant back then and I would listen and do anything what anyone says to me so I downloaded a bunch of stuff that I can't remember and It put a virus on my PC....then for some reason my monitor broke (won't even work on my cousin's pc), and well I had no issues running Minecraft, Lugaru and Roblox(You need a pretty decent pc to not lag at every particle at the screen), I don't wanna fix a 4gb PC with a rusty and a fried motherboard.
