    If you buy online you will get an OK one for those games you've mentioned. In a store though, it's just too low.

    This one online's a very good deal.

    You do pay a lot more for a gaming laptop than a desktop though, and it's not upgradable either unlike the desktop.

    no way will you get that deal in a shop. that site that TerrorFirmer posted a link to the laptop is very good and reliable - I have bought off them a few times with no issues.
