getting a new gaming pc

[Silicate Wielder]

First off there is a reason behind my insanity, just so you guys know.

Hey guys, over this summer I will be cleaning gutters, hoping to earn $1200, which is enough to get this gaming tablet I want.

These are pretty much gaming PCs using a custom motherboard that can fit in a custom tablet case. Depending on how you look at it.

Razer Edge: 64GB - $729.99USD + shipping (http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-edge-pro)

Or

Razer Edge Pro: 128GB - $1080.00USD + shipping (http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-edge-pro)

Or

Razer Edge Pro: 256GB - $1099.99USD + shipping (http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-edge-pro)

or do you have a better option? Let me know in the comments

EDIT:

These tablets are capable of running normal PC games like skyrim, and borderlands, so its not entirely insane. plus it has functions of a laptop, tablet, portable console, or I can just plug my controller into it.

I've come back from the dead to give the living advice on PC building.

First off, fuck this tablet gaming bullshit. Leave that to iOS and Android. It's such a niche market and it's not worth investing in.

Second, build your own. $1200 you say? You can build a pretty damn decent system just on $1200 (excluding taxes and shipping).

Again, there is a reason to my insanity, if your not going to pay attention to me having said that, then please don't bother leaving a comment. And this isn't your normal tablet that people go crazy over flappy bird on. I'm looking for something portable enough to take to school and carry between classes, but also something powerful enough to at least let me run Borderlands 2, this tablet not only runs on an x64 processor but exceeds my expectations, I was just wondering which one of these to get.


EDIT: Now if these tablets didnt exist, then I woudn't be making this post, and would have gotten myself either a decent gaming rig, or a new laptop to replace the $300 one I have now (Which still lets me run my games).

you might be able to play something like bf3 on medium graphics settings, but I am also against the tablet gaming thing in general. It'll suck the battery dry.

I personally would not recommend the Edge since the hardware is from 2012. Though there really aren't any alternatives.

I think you're really cutting yourself short here. Yeah, it would be nice to be able to play a triple A game between classes. Hell, I'd kill for that on my iPad. But the technology isn't there yet. Razer is also reselling technology that is two years old for a ridiculous price. Honestly, if you're going to get a Razer product, just stick to their keyboards and mice.

You were the one who wanted people to comment on your decision in the replies, so I don't think you have any real room to tell me that I shouldn't bother leaving a comment when I read your entire post.

I didnt realize the hardware is that old, maybe I'll just get a laptop from system76.
