Gaming laptop or gaming desktop?

I think Monkey is overestimating what it takes to max out games. The 260m GTX is a monster performer for gaming, and you'll max out pretty much all DX10 games with relative ease (there is no support for DX11 though)... Even a GPU intensive game like Crysis can be played on very high settings with this card. The Core 2 Duo at 2.5Ghz is more than enough for any game and multitasking.

Look at it this way. I play on an Asus G50VT-X1, and I can max out every game short of Crysis which I can play on high. That laptop is a lot more powerful than mine and the 260m GTX craps on my 9800m GS.

Also, don't read to much into the RPM of the HDD, Unless you care about faster boot times, and download capabilities? You're fine.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
