Fujitsu Amilo Laptops have a good combination of prise and quality, to my mind, I have one, but I really had to regret this purchase, as the laptop itself is so huge :( My friends all use netbooks which are extremly appropriate just for having internet-access when you're away - at the university, outdoors, etc. But if you are going to play games, you obviously need at least a laptop :)

6Sons,
Laptops generally use integrated video chipsets.
Notebooks are not like desktop/towers where we can change the video cards.
