my1st66mustangWell I am looking for a laptop to game with but many people say get a desktop....so Alienware(unfortunately) made a graphics amplifier(extra $300) which you can hook your laptop up to use a desktop GPU and can replace it later easily(GPU). Just plug and play basically. Is it worth it to pay a extra $200 to be able to buy the amplifier in the future?

That will only work with alienware 13 notebooks.

Well i have a 1000 dollars laptop (Its not even a gaming laptop, Just a high end work laptop that i use for gaming) that can run most game on max settings. I dont think you would need a graphics aplifier for gaming, Just get a laptop with a good graphics card and a good cpu. Note: If you will be playing games X - Plane 10 (Or a game with ultra high end graphics) You might need a desktop.

If portability is an absolute must, such as needing the same laptop for work or school, go for it.

I personally don't think that an adapter would be worth the money to run a desktop card on your laptop since the card would probably be another couple hundred dollars as well. Might as well just get a desktop at that point.

But I can game well on the go and get extra performance when at home

They have some sweet gaming laptops.

So you want a laptop, just to set it up and use it as a desktop? Dude, if you want this, just get a desktop. It'll be so much cheaper, and so much faster.

this is kinda difficult to understand... so you're saying that people tell you to get a desktop, but you want a laptop. so you want the gpu amplifier. you have to take into account of your cpu too i think. the cpu could bottleneck some performance
