I guess the notebook would be more for vanity purposes, like gaming poolside and taking it with me to travel, etc.

I'm not usually to concerned with having the latest and greatest ALL of the time like someone I know, but if I'm going to spend 3,000 I think I might as well spend 4,000 and get the best there is.

I'll look at desktops, I use them now and it isn't so bad....
