Ha, nice spin argument 

Let's see then:

1. More power Not neccesarly 
2. Costs less money Same as above
3. Is upgradableFair enough
4. Better coolingYou can buy cooling accesories for a lap top and it could work almost 24/7
5. Supports bigger and cheaper hard drives (and much more of them) You can use extrenal HDD for laptops.
6. More connectivity optionsMobility>Connectivity

=> Much better for gaming Subjective



And you were mentioning spinning... Ha ha ha! You're a funny guy. Obviously a little clueless, but funny! 



You know, I dont think he's seen a top of the line graphics card and the amount of heat it generates and the sheer size of it.  Nor do I believe he really understands the economics of computer making.  If you pack the same power into a smaller package, the cost goes UP, way UP.  Laptop cooling is a joke, there is no way that much heat can exhaust through the tiny vents or much circulation can be designed into crammed space.  Physically and economically implausible.  Why is there even an argument here?

As far as why NOT laptop vs desktop, my take is desktop offers you the choice of a much much bigger screen much better positioned for gaming.  A mechanical keyboard offers much better feedback, and no, attaching a keyboard to a laptop is unacceptable.  Monitor will be 6-8 inches too far foward.

But id the OP insists on a laptop and price is of no concern, buying a premade bundle is going to be better than DIY.  DIY is in and of itself a fun game but I don't know of too many people who buy exactly the right parts and never tinker with it.  In the long run, like any hobby, it's a money sinkhole.
