When you feel like posting again, read that. If you think you have some other really important point to make, read that. Read it as many times as you have to until you're able to comprehend its meaning.
Okay, now I'm really done here. :p

It's like an old man who doesn't want to accept that the horse is out and that cars are in, it's quite silly actually.
For web/music/movies, yes a more expensive laptop can match a desktop. For gaming, it's still a no. Even the absolute top tier of gaming systems with 4x 680 SLI (1200watts) chug at some settings at surround/eyefinity. And trust me, once you go surround, you can't go back.
Can you game? Yes. Can you game at "the exact same thing"? No. Just wait until we start seeing some decent tessellation and high-res textures (Metro 2033 is a good example of what will happen (Takes 2-3 7970s heavily OC'd to get a decent framerate at 5760x1080)).
Back from the grave and working on textures.
