Recommendation to the op:

Do NOT buy a "Gaming laptop"


I'm going to disagree with you here, but it's partly because of my personal situation. I have a job that requires a lot of travel, and I spend tons of time in hotels during the work week. I bought an Asus G73 gaming laptop almost a year ago, and I get a ton of use out of it. I would definitely prefer to be at home gaming on my desktop which is more powerful and cost less, but I can't take it with me on the road.

As far as overheating issues, I have had some fairly marathon gaming sessions on mine without issue. I also haven't had any weird driver or support issues. The laptop can play any game I've thrown at it at max detail almost a year after I bought it. I can't deny that it was really expensive, but in my case it was definitely worth it.
