Don't really care of any 'status symbol' and 'aluminium uni body' stuff... Also - I just wouldn't by laptop for gaming. I'd buy (and in fact I did ;)) high-end version of 13 inch MacBook just for the sake of using OS X. It's just way better than Windows and less annoying then Linux. Somewhat between, which makes it actually perfect.
Just for the question - it didn't ruin my experience... I still put Oblivion as one of the best action RPGs I've ever played. Morrowind is complex, slowly narrated. It's just different, not better. You just shouldn't expect from Oblivion being just clone of the Morrowind. It feels different, it is different. So go ahead, if you've got patience and time to discover Morrowind... ;)
Well, Morrowind is a bit 'old' in terms of not only graphic but also gameplay. If you don't mind a bit lame fighting mechanics its a great game. Size and complexity of the world is overwhelming :). Oblivion is also great (although IMO side quests are way better than main, so consider not doing 1st mission with handing amulet, just to skip this lame Gates of Oblivion opening part). If you've got strong PC you should also consider buying Oblivion for it, not PS3. Why? Well, you'll get huge advantage of literally thousands of mods adding and correcting features in the game. Also - you might turn off the worst and most irritating element of the game, which is level scaling environment (and trust me - you WANT to do that).
Damage forces you to ensure proper, actually simulation-like, style of driving... You can see it in Forza 2 (and I hope in Forza 3 as well) where you're forced to be careful with throttle and breaking to not spin your car, crash into other car etc., or you'll just finish the race... IMO damage is extremely important part of racing games...
