Whats the best gaming laptop under 2k?
I saw a gateway on BB USA (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9172511&type=product&id=1218043606827) was wondering if I should get my friend to pick this up for me? It's got 1 Gig GPU RAM and 4 Gigs of CPU RAM... which I hear is probably more important than CPU Mhz/GHz now right?

#1 if you want to play games built a good Desktop computer. It will be much better then any laptop you pick up and cheaper.
As for a laptop, for under $2,000 check this out,
http://www.alienware.com/customize/area-51-m15x-notebook.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AREA51M15X-AI1&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT
But you do pay alot more for alienware but they are good laptop.s

If your Macbook is the recent generation, then use bootcamp and make a partition for Vista/XP in order to play games.
How intense is your gmaing going to be? Minimum will be an 8600GT.
