Pondering Switching to a Laptop

[Calibretto]

Hey guys. So, I thought about selling my desktop and my netbook and just getting a laptop. Right off the bat, what do you guys think?

I'm in college currently, so I usually travel a lot to my parents and trips to campus and such. And when I'm away from my desktop, my netbook just doesn't really cut it.

As for gaming, I don't play a lot of games. Recently I've been addicted to MLB 2K10, but I feel that will blow over sooner or later. If I do get a laptop, I would want it to handle at least some light gaming.

Mostly I would love to get rid of my desktop for two reasons: To free up room in my bedroom and to not have to lug my desktop with me when I move home for the summer and Christmas break.

I haven't made a decision yet and I don't even know if I'll go through with it. but just want to hear everyone's thoughts.

You will able to get a nice laptop able to handle light to medium gaming if you have the $$ to pay. A good laptop for school and gaming is the T500 Lenovo (Ibm). Switchable ATI and Intel graphics, high end I5 and I7 processors, Up to 8 GB RAM, and a nice battery life (3+ hours on the Intel "class duty" setting).

You will never be able to totally replace a desktop with a laptop, but you can come damn close. Just make sure that you keep them cool, and dry. Also watch your battery. If your going to be on plug power for a while, take the battery out and run solely off of plug power. It will extend the life of your battery, and save you $$ in the end.
Also, keep track of your serial number, just in case someone sees fit to "claim" it.
