For the same price of a hardcore gaming laptop you can get an even harder core desktop. SO, you better have a good reason to buy such an expensive beast. If you plan on leaving it on a desk for 99% of the time, It would not make any sense to buy a gaming laptop. On the other hand, if you plan on going to LAN Party's a lot, then yea it would make sense, since lugging a desktop with monitor and accessories/wires is a pain. On the cutting edge side (not released yet) of Hardcore Laptop gaming seems to be leading to a solution based on an External video card. This get rid of heat, size and power issues. Imagine, you have a half decent laptop with core 2 duo and 2-4 gigs of ram but it only has on board video. you wont get very good gaming out of that. Then you buy an external video card that connects over a high speed bus like USB 3.0 or whatever. A real video card, like a regular desktop video card but in a custom enclosure. Now your regular old laptop just became a bad ass gaming machine. I cant find many recent updates on it but im sure there is a market for this first unveiled http://tech.yahoo.com/blog/null/11883 youtube vlog about it later that year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FnHg-k8N3Y Thought i throw in my 2 cents.
