Dude It makes sense to buy a laptop only if you need a computer on wheels.

On the left side of the ring, weighing in 2ghz dual core:p a full fledged fire breathing number pulverising monster who will preform no matter what.

And his opponent a slim flimsy laptop which will sucumb to even doom '93 ~:p.

The choice is obvious.

If you want a laptop go for DELL INSPIRON 6400
It will exceed 50K by more 5-6K

yes buy a laptop only if you are on the move constantly because upgrading components in a laptop is both limited and expensive .

Get a laptop ONLY if you need the portability. Otherwise, nothing can match the performance, maintenance, upgrading, and the overall comfort of using a desktop...

I've seen this trend lately, people buying laptops for the sake of buying one... end up using it as a desktop.

You can go for Dell/Lenovo with good configs.. and yes you cant get that upgradibility which you can get in Desktop.
