Personally I'd buy a netbook and use the rest of the money to build a computer. Seeing that Gaming Laptops can't compete with a desktop thats half the price.

Gaming Laptops suck. My friend with an ASUS laptop with a Core 2 duo, 4gb ram and Nvidia Gfx(Good graphics card,better than mine, can't remember brand)
My desktop with
2.2ghz Pentium dual core
3gb ram
8600gt
out performs his laptop.

which means, aside from clock speeds, and improvements in power usage and thermal design, its a revamped variant of the 8600GT you have in your desktop.
