first off the term gaming laptop is an oxymoron, laptops were never meant to be for gaming. so even if the company who makes it calles it a "gaming laptop" in a head to head performance compariosn its not gonna stand a chance againts its pc counter parts. and laptops hardware isnt easyily upgradable if even at all in some cases, youd be better off getting a pc and only gaming when your at home or whereever you would keep the pc at

I doubt that laptop will be able to play most games at a decent setting while achieving a decent FPS

If you want to play games on a laptop, look for something with at least a 9800GT or GTS. They will preform quite well paired up with a decent cpu. Look for something around the T9300 or so.

And gaming laptops are a reality now. The hardware is good enough to be able to play games smoothly. My laptop can play any game I throw at it maxed with the exception of crysis, but that's not a game :P

Yes, yes the laptop can play most games.. Some new games however, you probably need to lower the settings and pray..

get a 9800gt or better. So.. Gateway :-D

THERE ARE GAMING LAPTOPS.. If you have the money. Go visit www.xoticpc.com for some good ones. Look forward to spending more than two thousand dollars..
