Desktop replacement

[one30eight]

I will be buying a laptop in the next month or so and have been thinking about selling off my desktop. Currently I have a C2D e6550 at 3.4Ghz, 4 GB DDR2 and 1 4850 512. I am happy with this setup and am wondering what price range I would be at for something simular. I have been looking at http://laptops.toshiba.com/laptops/qosmio/X500/X505-Q865 How would this compare in gaming to my desktop?

If I part out my desktop I have about 1500 dollars to spend. As far as games I play it is all over the board. The only constants are WoW and COD 4, WaW. I would like to be able to run out to a 37 inch tv for movies. Thanks for any and all advice.

If you pay cash, you can get the following for about $1500, probably one of the best gaming laptop out there atm.

Asus G73JH-A2 17.3" FHD/ATI HD5870 GDDR5/i7-720QM/8GB DDR3/1TB 7200rpm/DVDRW/W7HP64

Newegg had a version with only 1 hdd and no bag nor mouse and only 1 year warranty, for $1419, but they jacked up the price due to how well its selling, ASUS G73JH-X1

If you dont wish to spend that much and willing to so sacrifcie some gpu performance, also check

Asus N71JQ-A1 17.3" WXGA+/i7-720QM/ATI HD 5730 1GB GDDR3/4GB DDR3/640G 7200rpm/Blu-Ray/W7HP64

Asus N61JQ-A1 16" HD/i7-720QM/ATI HD 5730 1GB GDDR3/4GB DDR3/500G 7200rpm/DVDRW/W7HP64

Agreed. Any of those Asus models Abula listed will be a better deal and better laptop than the Toshiba. The G73 is probably the best price to performance laptop available to date.

How much faster would the Asus be than my current setup or would it be faster?
