Sometimes a laptop can be a good option for a gamer. I have a Sager and it runs games pretty well. I mainly play starcraft 2, skyrim, and witcher 2, and it runs all of those titles maxed out at 60fps except for the witcher 2, where I have to bump down the resolution to get 60 fps.

It is much more portable that I imagined it would be. I move around a lot and it is great to not have to transport a massive desktop every time I change houses. I take it to visit family on the holodays. Will it run games as well as a desktop? Absolutely not, but it still runs most of them very well and can be a good option for some people. I don't know what is going on with all the hate against gaming laptops these days.
