With today's high power mobile processors and video cards, laptops are every bit as powerful as their bigger desktop brothers. The appeal of a gaming laptop, especially as it pertains to LAN parties, is overwhelming. With a gaming laptop, you can arrive at the LAN while everyone is half done setting up and be all set up before they're done. When the party is over, just put everything back into the laptop bag and you'll be the first out the door, while everyone else is making trips to the car.
 What's in your Laptop Bag? With LAN partying in mind, I've decided to show you what I pack inside my laptop bag when heading to a LAN party. One thing for sure, this definitely beats lunging around a desktop! There very few activities in life that are more fun than a LAN party. If you haven't been to a LAN party before then you owe it to yourself to check it out. The biggest reason for gamers not being part of a LAN party is because of the work required to haul all their computer gears from home to the LAN. In the past this has prevented many gamers from attending LAN parties. It takes as much as 3 or more trips from computer room to car to pack up the computer, monitor, and accessories. Then it takes another 3 or more trips from car to LAN party room to set up. Then you have to do it all over again to get this stuff home! No wonder I had trouble getting people to come to my LAN! Laptop gamers don't have this problem. With today's high power mobile processors and video cards, laptops are every bit as powerful as their bigger desktop brothers.
