The 970m and 980m almost close the desktop/laptop gap, almost. Couple more years and mobile GPU's will defiantly be on par with their desktop counterparts.
I've owned three gaming laptops, really expensive ones ($2300+). This was primarily due to being in the military and constantly on the go with deployments. Being in a TRADOC post now at Lost-in-the-Woods has pretty negated the need for one.
While gaming laptops offer mobility and ease of use, they do have drawbacks. One is that heat will become a issue over time with usage, that drastically reduces their lifespans, and there is nothing you can do about that, period. Another issue that arises also has to do with power consumption. Even plugged in, they drain battery life like you wouldn't believe.
So, if you're constantly on the go then its a easy purchase. It makes sense. But it should never be considered as a desktop replacement.
