gaming laptops

So i´ve recently become a "gaming laptop" owner. I chose to try out the MSI GT70. A review of it here http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/15/3085595/msi-gt70-review.

I know people will now think I´m an idiot since I could have better performance with a destkop for that amount of money. But I will spare you trolls by informing you that im moving between 2 apartments quite alot and im perhaps going abroad for quite some time, so a mobile laptop with some power in it was perfect fit for me.

Anyways the point of this journal is to try to enlight some people about the performance in games and what not. I know there are people that would prefere a mobile solution but perhaps afraid of laptops not being bang for buck.

Specs: i7 3610QM 2.3 ghz (3.2 with turbo enabled) Nvidia GTX 670M 3GB GDDR5, 8 GB RAM 1600 mhz. 750gb hd 7200 rpm. 17.3 inch 1920x1080 screen.

Feel free to leave questions in comment section or my inbox.

since im at the university during the week, and at home on the weekends, got my fairly new (1 year) computer at university, but my old computer pisses me off every weekend, so this might be the right choice for me dunno :D
Every powerful laptop suffers from heat transfer problems. Some at the beginning others after a few months. Mine sounded like a vacuum cleaner after a year.
They dont unless you clean the fans incest à Month. But ist True they last for only 2-3 years
