take it from me OP just build a nice desktop, most will hardly take advantage of the mobility of a laptop. If you really need a laptop for school work just spend less then 500 on a small portable and 1500 for a beast gaming machine. I bought a really nice thinkpad through my school for a really good price. I can play games and all, but I do wish I just built a nice desktoprob1101

Well I'm considering majoring in computer science, and just in high school it's a pain in the ass transfering code from school to my house and then back to school. It would be way easier to have a laptop I can take anywhere and do all the work on one machine.

And I need this to last four years, and I'm sure computers will become even MORE integrated in the college classroom by then, so I just think a laptop makes more sense.

I have $2200 to spend.

Any suggestions would be great.

Okay theres minor annoyances on the 360...

1) If you budge the console at all when a game is going it burns rings in the disc (not really minor, come to think of it)

2) The stupid "Blah blah is online" get's in the way of the game screen

3) Switching between an HD and SD TV is a pain in the ass

4) If there are multiple 360s in the room, linking up controllers can be a pain.

5) Thew new headset design sucks, you have to pull up on the wire to turn it off and on and adjust volume.

6) 360s RROD. Wiis don't break nearly as much.

There's more. And yes the Wii has more, but the point is that minor annoyances don't make a console awful. They all have them.

I'll worry about it if it becomes a big problem.

But really, I've knocked my wii over and yanked it foward while I'm playing and nothing happens. You do that with a 360, you can say good bye to whatever is in the disc drive.

They are all current gen. End of story.

"Generation" refers to a time period, not technology.

yes... It feels like im playing the same game every time play different 'FPS's. They're all too much a like.
