If today is still year 2000, probably there is no popular gaming laptop at all. Luckily we live and breathe until today (2008) and both of us know that gaming laptop is becoming one of the most sought after items. Gamers usually want to play their games everywhere they can, after they finish with their school duty or job.
Gaming laptop was unable to play desktop software perfectly. In the past, software which ran perfectly on desktop would be slower in laptop. But with the fast growing technology of micro computer, now things have changed. Everything runs perfectly on all new laptop. Don't forget that laptop battery life and stability are improving significantly. That's why laptop becomes very popular and many Americans even consider laptop as a perfect desktop replacement.
Gamers usually prefer to buy a new gaming laptop rather than buying a new gaming desktop computer (unless if their budgets are tight). This is happening because these days it's uneasy to find free time. Usually we are being pressured by work, job, or studies. So when ever we have free time, it won't enough to return to our home, play game, then go back to our school or office. This is why gaming laptop is more popular. Even if you only have 30 minutes free time inside your office, you can turn on your laptop and play games there.
The most popular gaming laptops are Dell XPS M1730 and its predecessor M1710. Gateway P-171XL FX is also suddenly become popular. However, these laptops are quite expensive so not everyone could buy them. The most popular laptop (according to Amazon) is still Apple MacBook Pro. Yeah, MacBook products are still good for gaming. Yet it's still cheaper than most gaming laptops.
