    Umm, Id say if you want a laptop of that power go for it, but remember it'll weigh quite a bit and battery won't be great

    Honestly that's a great deal, and you wont be low on graphics power for a long time. The GTX280M can't touch SLI 9800mGT right now, and even in single GPU games, the 9800mGT is only like 15-20% slower, and you can just overclock then. The only games it will be 20% slower in than say a GTX280M is like Crysis, and games that are more dependent on pure shader power.
