well personly im a bit of a gamer myself and I know i hate when i go to play a game it say you need more memory or flash card is to small etc so i think a gaming labtop would be VERY good thing to make for when kids on a trip or a plane its boaring sitting down for 3-4 hours or more cant go on the internet and games will take long cuz of the memory already on it so i think it would be very good to have a gaming labtop because for me i have 1 tower for my computer it basiclly close to full... so i trying to get my self a new one for my game cuz some of my game take up alot of memory and just slowest the computer and if you going to make a dest computer make the tower small and with a handle so it can easy be move or stored
- 64 Bit Operating System, Clean, with proper drivers Installed.
- Single Beastly GPU rather than Dual GPU's. Why? Less power, and SLI/Crossfire usually only takes advantage of 50% or less of the additional GPU. A single GPU in gaming can be used 100%, while in a multi GPU setup, a lot of the power is wasted.
- Dual Corsair P256 SSD's in RAID 0.
- Intel Core Lynnfield i7 with Hyperthreading and Turboboost up to 3+ GHz. Quad core for multitasking and some game, Turboboost for dual threaded games.
- 17" High Resolution Display, High Contrast, 5ms Response Time
- 8GB Memory with Prefetching on Ramdisk, and No Paging or Virtual Memory
Its all about balance - Fantastic GPU with Craptastic CPU is a fail as is the other way around.
So for CPU break out someting that can do the Math needed by the latest GPU within the Heat/Power range of a lappy. Add said GPU today i guess that would be a binned variant of the 4890. Add dedicated mamory of the same sort as in normal GFX-cards.
HDD - 7200 rpm with decent amount of cache
Memory - well lots of it and on a bus that is balanced with the rest of the system.
Now add ports - skip the fancy solutions with inbuild mouses give me a robust USB. Add at least 2*DVI. Take a pich of sound lurv (the sort of lurv that reduces CPU cycles devoted to sound and gives decent 5.1) and connect this with a standard Optical I/O.
Now add OS - 64 bit (loads of memory remember?) dont add crapware. Stir and test - keep testing til U know U have reached the balance.
Target a Laptop that works well in a FPS on either the laptop screen or on a 19*12 external screen.
The Asus G1S is a great home laptop, with a twist. Running an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2gb of DDR2 RAM, this small computer packs a solid punch for all your needs. The 8x DVD LightScribe drive and 15.4" Colorshine wide-screen display gives you fantastic multimedia performance. Asus Laptop Fan
I'd design it to be at least as big as a briefcase, don't have batteries and be cheap compared to performance.
- runs on some sort of fuel instead of batteries
- gaming mouse
- full size keyboard
- fast HD for the OS
- High capacity HD for storage

only if i had the $$ for something so great. maybe i can win won tho.
There will always be some games which just don't work on a laptop. I wouldn't want to run MS Office on a PSP either. Thats just the way it is...
I would not mind an affordable laptop, really. As soon as I see 4 digits after the dollar sign, I bail out. :/
