good gaming laptop

centrino vs p4 vs amd e.t.c

Best for gaming will probably be the P4 simply due to its higher clockspeed and the fact that laptops with that usually pack a 9700 pro or higher too. Only problem there is that it will be huge, hot, and have no battery life to speak of. I'd recommend AMD in a heartbeat but there really arn't many laptops that are running AMD procs. And the ones out there that are dont always have the greatest of video cards.

If you want to last more than an hr when on battery and dont want something that will burn your lap go for a Pentium M laptop. You will sacrafice on the video card a little but if you need the battery life it is worth it. You can get 5hrs or more out of a Pentium M machine easy.

Intel currently dominates the Laptop world. I'm a die hard AMD fan but for now I'm going to stick to their desktop procs.

You can get the 6800 in a P4 laptop and you don't have to go through dell to get it... I agree with Eden though. I'd love to get an A64 laptop, but they are really big (nice... but big). I ended up going Pentium M and am really happy with it.

Pentium-M 1.8 GHz
1 GB DDR RAM
Mobility 9700 Pro
15.4" widescreen WUXGA 1920x1200
DVD-ROM/CD-RW
60 GB hard drive
Wireless b/g
Gigabit LAN

etc etc.

I'd stay away from vaio, they are nothing but trouble.

I don't think I could narrow it down
I've never delt with one that worked well. They have always been very slow, the way sony customized windows was pretty bad, they have all had some sort of hardware problem/failure, etc.

Maybe sony has changed since the last one I saw but I doubt it.

I had that same though of a64 notebooks but then I saw the synthetic performace of them at best barely keeping up with the PM chips and consumed a butt-load more jucie. This came to a shock to me at first. That Ferarri or the ABS mayhem g3 are pretty good a64 notebooks and are pretty small but the Dell Insprion 9200 can pretty much outperform those 2 and at a smaller price with a bigger screen. If you start looking into the 6800s in a notebooks then its time to get a desktop machine which will be much cheaper.
