January 16, 201412 yr I am looking for a semi-portable system to run fsx. I would like to be able to store the system when not in use at my kitchen table. I am confined to this room at night due to some responsibilities. At first I considered laptops but wondered if an all in one pc such as this Dell XPS one 27 could work: http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-27-2720-aio/pd?refid=xps-27-2720-aio&baynote_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch&isredir=true It doesn't need to travel from outside the house just from room to room. Maybe there is a solution I have not even considered. Thanks for any help!
January 20, 201412 yr If you're only moving from room to room, I'd consider a smallish desktop. The all-in-ones use essentially the same hardware as a laptop without the battery and pose the same kinds of compromises for FSX (no upgradable components, cooling limitations, slower components optimized for low power consumption rather than performance etc). You could make it more easily moved/stored with a small wireless keyboard and mouse. Lots of gamers have their machines set up to easily pack up and cart off to LAN parties. You'll get much more bang for the buck in a desktop than a laptop or an AIO, and the process of packing it up/moving/storing can be easily managed with the right sort of case.
