    I disagree, laptops are very useful for college and other people that move around a lot. Thing is I don't think that it is a good idea to have a gaming laptop since they are usually really heavy, heat up like crazy and overall don't function well as either a portable device or a gaming computer.

    Yeah... having to manage a desktop in a dorm room would not be fun...

    And yeah... I avoid gaming laptops, I use ASUS's more multimedia ones to get more balance out of my laptop, I don't really take too much of a hit to gaming performance, and it's still portable. Also when gaming on any laptop, invest in a notebook cooler, it's a great investment.

    You should help us out by providing what scenario your laptop is going to be used for. Usually a Class 2 GPU is more than sufficient and a Class 3 results in excess heat and power consumption.

    dude, seriously...if you wanna be a gamer you gotta know some components to your system...i mean as Leonhart said you're gonna want a ATI radeon/NVIDIA Ge4xxx-8xxxx type GPU, a CPU (depending on the type or processor, single, dual, etc) 1.8-2.4GHz, you know you'll want around 2GBs of ram....this is a good start-off...and def try lookin at newegg, not sure where you wanna buy your system from..
