Thanks for all your advice. The reason i want a gaming laptop is because ill be headed to college soon and i want something more mobile. I'm hearing pentium M, core duo and core solo. I personally want the core duo, however is there really a big difference in choosing core duo over core solo or M. Also i think a 7900 is a bit expensive for my budget. I was thinking of getting the geforce go 7800. Is there a big gap between those two cards?
