a 600$ gaming laptop has better memory ram, graphics video card, processor than a $600 normal everyday laptops. What does normal ones have that gaming laptops don't have?
Are the $600 laptops the exact same in terms of everything else (model, whatnot, from the same store)? Everyday laptops probably have bundled software for everyday use.
I'd have to see what you were talking about as far as comparing a $600 gaming laptop and a $600 normal laptop. Here is what you should expect from a Gaming laptop. A processor faster than 2.4ghz, and a higher end video chipset. Now, a Gaming laptop can do everything a normal laptop can do. SO anything you can do with a normal laptop, you can do with a gaming laptop. The reverse is not true. So again, I would have to see the specs on that $600 gaming laptop you are talking about because it sounds like you are comparing a $600 used gaming laptop made a few years ago, to a brand new $600 normal laptop and a $600 used gaming laptop won't play the newest games out there, and a $600 used gaming laptop is not much different from a brand new $600 normal laptop. end of line
You'd have to post the specification of both because ordinarily, gaming laptops cost more than normal laptops simply because of the faster more powerful components they contain. Ultra-portable laptops are not suitable for games but can be equally expensive as gaming ones.
The cooling system (thermal compound, fan etc) of gaming laptops are usually better equipped for dealing with and dissipating the heat generated from playing games. Usually, when the laptop's generated heat reaches a certain high point due to the design and lack of capacity of the cooling system, the laptop throttle itself so it doesn't overheat and spoil the internal components. This will in turn somewhat deteriorate the performance of the laptop until the heat is dissipated. Also heat in general isn't good for electrical components, so putting the laptop under strain (when playing graphically intensive games) might wear it out faster (practically I'm not that sure though, normal laptops have also worked just fine for me, then again im more of a recreational gamer). It really depends on how often you play games and how long in one sitting. If you don't game that long during each sitting, maybe around 2 hours or more each time, then go for the normal cheaper one. If you are a hardcore gamer who games for a long period of time, then go for the gaming one. Gaming laptop usually come with a better graphics card, and sometimes a better processor, though I think most people are aware of that.
