Cool beans, looks good to me.

If you can find a strong video card cool but I'm sure an 8600 will work for a laptop

Did they ever make a mobile 3850? And yeah other then the slower 5400rpm hard drive it should be about the same as your desktop

Not that ive seen. 3650 is the nicest ATI i can find... I think the 8600GT is nicer though. I saw one dude talkin about the 3650 and "DX10.1" but i dunno what he was talkin about

the only reason i got the laptop that i did was because the video card is one of the things you cant change. you can always swap out the cpu or hard drives... the video card is soldered in there.

yeah for sure Didn't really look at it like that but I suspect the 8600gt will be reasonable... I really only play source cod and wow and i know it will run them fine... Dead pixels though... that would suck real bad. but doesn't everybody pretty much screw you on dead pixels
