When it comes to laptops, gamers have a different take on the term “mobility” than most other users. From a gamer’s perspective, the key to mobility is being able to toss your entire gaming computer into a backpack and take it with you to a LAN party or friend’s place. Size, weight and battery life still matter, of course, but they don’t weigh as heavily on buying decisions for typical gamer versus a road-warrior who needs a business-class machine to tote around daily.

The Deimos 1615S’ battery life is uninspiring, even for a gaming laptop. The battery is removable, though, so you can pick up extra batteries if you plan to be playing long unplugged.

As for noise, the Mythlogic Deimos 1615S is very quiet when handling web surfing and other light tasks. Its fans rev up quite a bit under load, which may distract some gamers. If you tend to game with headphones though, it’s a non-issue.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
