You'll notice with laptops that are designed for the gamer that they are bulky, have HORRIBLE battery life and are hot and loud. I speak from experience I've got an Asus gaming laptop that I bought for "school" like two years ago.

It was just waaaay too inconvenient to carry around and the battery could only last about one class.

Thats why now I've got one of those netbooks for school $400, lightweight and 10 hours of battery life.


Just safe until you can get a gaming desktop.

Yeah, TBH gaming laptops are rubbish. Like what Randomnamehere said, they are heavy, bulky, and overheat easily. And not to mention, incredibly expensive. I made that mistake, and brought a Dell Inspiron 1720. Its not a full gaming laptop, but I decked it out to have all the best parts. Its crap, it is heavy, big, bulky, the battery sticks out at the back, its also really hot, and I spent way to much money on it. Really your better off getting a $400 standard laptop that is lightweight and easy to move around for school, and then save up and buy yourself a desktop that will be able to play cod4, bf2 and much more for less than you want to spend for your gaming laptop.
