Laptops aren't really built for gaming so much as portability. I made this mistake about 18 months ago and dropped an assload of cash on a nice laptop with an x1600 in it. Overall I've loved my laptop but wish I had purchased a much cheaper, lighter one since I do very very little gaming on it (mostly due to heat). It gets used mostly for work while waiting between classes (or goofing off on teh interwebs) but I will admit I occasionally sneak a match of TF2 in while at school =P
If you get a lot of use out of it then more power to you, but if gaming on a desktop is at all an option its a lot friendlier on the wallet and in general I've found it to be much less of a hassle.
..Oh and the last thing I will say is that laptops are usually a bit behind the desktops as a rule of thumb. As a result you will pay a bit more for the same parts and it puts some games out of reach for affordable laptops. Just comes with the terrirtory sadly.
