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.
