That's the killer statement. I find gamers to be very unhappy with laptops in general.
Why do this?

hi,
this is my first post here.im goin to buy a new laptop.its goin to be a desktop replacement. i had quite a few choices but i narrowed them down to hp zd 8000 & dell inspiron 9300.
i customised both the laptops and thier cost came upto $2100 & $ 2300 respectively.
the hps configs are 3.2 ghz pentium 4 , 1 gb ram, dvd rw, 256 mb x 600 ( radeon) with tv tuner & media center.
the dell has a 2 ghz pentium 4 m with almost the same config as hp but without the tv tuner.
More than that i heard that hte screen on the hp is much brighter.but ther are complaints that it is too heavy, noisy,hot & has low battery life.
i dont care about the weight and the batt life as i wont be travelling much with my laptop.
but is hp really very hot & noisy..help me out on this.
i can go wit the dell but it does not have brite view & has a 2ghz processor which is slower than hp & it is costlier also.
my require ments will be for a powerful gamin pc.
