Playing VGs on Laptop

Well, apparently I'm getting a laptop for Xmas, which means I'm not going to upgrade my computer (Thanks for the help before however). I was wondering how is the laptop for playing games? Are there any videocards capable of playing the latest source games, like TF2 or Portal?

And is there any way to connect my 8600GT to a laptop? That's probably just ridiculous. xD

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's the problem. I don't know what I'm getting. And I need your suggestions =)

How much did your MacBook Pro cost? I think my price range is below a grand.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nah, I'm forced to get a Laptop. But thanks for those sites.

How's this?

PROCESSOR
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7100 (1.8GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
OPERATING SYSTEM
Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition
LCD PANEL
15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display with TrueLife™
MEMORY
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM
HARD DRIVE
120GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
OPTICAL DRIVE
8X CD/DVD Burner w/ double-layer DVD+R write capability
VIDEO CARD
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8600M GT

$908 / $1,248 (if Vostro 1700)

Is that okay for source? I don't mind about the HDD, I can get an external. And I prefer XP over Vista.

Okay Ghey. Why is Dell USA much cheaper than Canada? At least 300 less.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I might get this instead, since it's much cheaper. I forgot to use the Canadian site. I used a coupon which brings it from $1400~ to a little over $1000. Do you think that's worth it?

Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition, English

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah. I figured that much, but the deal in the site pretty much restricts what I can get. Nonetheless, it still comes cheaper than the Vostro, which is $1400 CAN, without the coupon.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Awesome. I just got a Inspiron 1520. Thanks for the help.... and HOPEFULLY, this TIME. It'll even let me play some freakin games. >_< (Damn my PC and its lack of PCI-E slot).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
