I briefly used a gaming laptop for work/school way back in 2002. This thing was a beast: 17.1" UXGA screen, 256 MB dedicated Ati Radeon 9000 graphic card, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, and a whopping 11 lbs. After just 1 month, I decided that it ran consistently too hot, was way too noisy, and stupidly cumbersome. About 10 years later I repeated the attempt with another gaming laptop (this time solely for work), and my conclusions were the same: too hot, loud and bulky, and I reverted right back to my Lenovo ThinkPad. Just my 2 cents =P
