Just wondering what laptops you guys would choose to game on if you didn't have an option to use your custom rig? At least I doubt anyone will say just go buy a console lol.

It would have to be at least a quad-core running at 3GHz with 8GB ddr3, 2TB hard drive, and probably a mobile 580 video chipset with 1.5GB video memory. It would be expensive but that would be somewhat similar to my desktop. I would continue using my current mouse, keyboard and have it connected through HDMI to my current TV. So it'd end up a stationary gaming laptop most of the time.

Probably a tablet to play simple (but fun) 2d games while I commute to work.

My Mini-ITX PC is nearly portable as any other 17 inch DTR gaming laptop.

I would not buy a laptop for gaming. Laptops are overpriced, and get too hot for gaming, which also cuts down the life of the components.
