Yeah, I definitely need the laptop, and honestly, this looks like a solid deal to me... I can't imagine finding a way to get something more powerful than this under these circumstances...

If we’re strictly talking about gaming, I’d stick with a desktop setup because you just can’t get a real session going on a laptop like this... you won't find that kind of performance... whereas with a PC, you always have the option to swap out the GPU, upgrade to a beefier power supply, or throw in more RAM, and even with a laptop, you might be able to bump up the memory at least...

When it comes to games, I sometimes just toss some cash at them, though I usually end up wondering if it's actually worth the investment or if I could be spending that money better elsewhere...

Is it actually worth ditching my desktop for a laptop?
My current rig is running an Intel Core 2 Duo 5000+ dual core at 2.6hz
with an nvidia geforce 9600 gt 512
and 2 gb of ram
power supply is 430 w
running on a 22 inch monitor
The laptop I'm looking at:

It still has two years left on the warranty
