A hardcore gaming laptop isn't worth it imo. When you are home, might as well play on a desktop, and when you are on the go, your laptop will be severly limited unless its plugged in to an outlet.
As others have said. Look up some tutorials on building a PC, it really isn't hard at all. Originally mine cost me $350 and it could run most games fine on high settings on my 1600x900 monitor. But even if you are looking for the best, after I upgraded graphics cards to a 7850 my total cost is $500 and I can run any game, even battlefield 3, maxed on on my new 1080p monitor. Then get a decent laptop for $500-$600. It will be able to handle casual gaming, the type you might do on the go. Heck my $500 hp laptop from a year ago can even run skyrim on medium on battery power if I really wanted to play that on the go.
You will still be saving money when compared to a top of the line gaming PC, and your desktop will smoke anything that costs under $2000. Also wait for deals, especially on laptops and graphics cards. I waited for a promotion and got a free $100 gift card with my laptop. And my graphics card I got for around $50 under msrp along with a rebate. Nowadays they are giving away lots of big games with top of the line graphics card. Especially AMD ones. Just be patient and you can save a lot of money.

thanks for such a long/detailed response But i want it to be portable, mostly because of the following reasons .I dont want it to be fixed at home .I want to be able to go with it to a friends house and play LAN mp .I want to play at work .I want to play modern games (DOLPHIN included) at work

Honestly, if you're considering Dolphin you shouldn't be looking at laptops. But I guess it's your money. I move my PC to my friend often for some LAN play. It's a bit more troublesome but it pays off because you can run everything better, faster, with moar graphx
