I know there's a lot of hate on gaming laptops, but im hoping to get one for college (i'll only game after homework :D ).

I'm thinkin of getting a toshiba with Nvidia 8600M SLi, Intel core 2 duo, 2Gb shared dual channel ddr sdram at 667 ghz, and some other stuff.

Any suggestions would be helpful, because im technology retarded. i also heard vista was bad for gaming, but doesnt dx 10 make games look better?
