Maybe I should be more specific:
If you want to 'seriosly' game, as in the new-age games in the display they were made for, then Desktop is the way to go. If you mean gaming like small emulation, or minuscule time-wasters, then sure, laptops are fine. The main problem laptops have are the integrated graphics cards, which are ****house to process the graphics in the moderately new games.

Yeh, Silence is right, buying a laptop means you arent going for hightech stuff, meaning that you are better off getting a mac. I only run my desktop as PC cause it's a hell lot cheaper too.

If you have the money, go mac.

Believe it or not, I was gonna say that almost word for word in my first post, but i wanted to get my real point across quickly.

-EDIT-

All the same, except for:
* 250GB Serial ATA drive @ 5400 rpm <---Simply a bigger storage capacity, and the same speed
* Country Kit <---As far as i know, its nothing to worry about. Just things that come with the Notebook that are country specific e.g wall-plugs, keyboards, etc. Should come with every Mac Laptop.
