I have a macbook pro but its completly broken and they want 1000 to fix it... so I decided its time to get a new comp. I'm ona 2000 dollar budget and I wanna get a computer that can play the newer games. I was looking at the new dell xps m1530 laptop which has a core 2 duo 2.2 ghz, 3 gigs of ram, and a 8600M gt video card with 256 gddr 3 ram., would that be good enough to play some of the newer games, or should I get the xps desktop that has a quadcore 3.0 ghz, 3 gigs of ram and a 8800 gt 512. I really would rather get the laptop but not if it cant handle games like world in conflict or crysis.... any advice would be appreciated.

You won't be playing WiC or Crysis on that laptop. The new laptops with the 8800m GTX have come out, but I couldn't say where you might find them. They'd probably cost more than you want to spend anyways. I, personally, would build a desktop tower. You'll end up spending a lot less than you would from Dell.
