Don't get me wrong, I am all for a good gaming laptop.

When I got my laptop it was the best laptop on the market.
Fastest graphics card etc.

BUT, 1) I got it as a replacement desktop
2) I regreted buying it because for the same amount of money I could have a better desktop and enough money for upgrades for the next couple of years.

My point is, if you want to play new(ish) demanding games, you might want to get the cheapest available laptop, and have your desktop as a gaming machine instead.
And that if you want to save money :-p
Anyway, the machine you mentioned is indeed good, though if you want to play games too, I advice to have 1GB of ram and a 7200 drive. Laptop drives, even the 5400 are too slow for some games, that you will find out sooner or later...
