Are laptops becoming decent for gaming yet? I bought an ASUS that was decent for gaming 4 years ago, haven't really looked into newer ones though. One problem is I can hardly get a laptop I use for gaming to last 2 years.

They're certainly usable and a lot more practical for the gamer who is never at home. 

But there's no question laptop gaming is still a compromise regardless of how much you spend on one. 

At minimum you lose multi-monitor set ups since it's impractical and no longer mobile if one were stubborn enough to carry around an extra flat panel display or two specifically for gaming in their giant game laptop suitcase. 

Daily or heavy use laptops in general are a 2-3 year purchase.
