If your interested in gaming on a top then look at the Dell XPS.

These tops are POWERFUL, stable and Dell of course has great support. Keep in mind gaming laptops are HEAVY and not normally suitable for lugging to work everyday unless you have strong arms. They are portable of course so you can take over to your buddies place for a round of HALO. |
The main downside to this -- price
By the time you get this up to a single-quad core, with 4 GB of ram, 17" display and a mirror 500G drive it is a $4000 US laptop, plus taxes, shipping and such.
My work desktop machine ---
Dual Quad core CPU (8 cores)
32 GB of ram, 4000 GB of raid drive, and a hardware raid controller, dual hot swap power supplies comes in at under $3000.
You could build a similar desktop for about $1000 with a 22" screen.
What is the point if they are just too heavy to carry anywhere. Why pay all the extra to cram all that hardware into a laptop case?
Side note: this is from a guy that is currently whining about only having a 700 CPU cluster with 1000Gb of RAM
