i'm with smurf. fuck laptops and upgrade your desktop. i'm thinking about getting a laptop as well, but i just want it for school. gaming = REAL computer a.k.a. desktop. ;) but if you've got hp by you, check out the gaming one that organ was talking about. a laptop designed for gaming is going to give you better gameplay.
