I'd have replied if I logged in yesterday?
I have a good reason for you not to buy one! The Geforce 8600M GT on the M1530 can't run Crysis well on high settings under Vista + DX10.
I suggest waiting until next year for the Nehalem processors to come out, because they have a significant structural improvement over the Penryns. Of course, the Penryns are just smaller versions of the Meroms. The Nehalim Auburndale variant will have 30% or so less power consumption than the Penryn without sacrificing performance. As usual, the low end Clarksfield type will give you the option of integrated graphics.
Just ask if there's something you didn't quite get.
BTW. If you want a high end gaming laptop, go for Alienware or Gateway. From our earlier conversation, I can tell that there aren't many quality laptops to choose from over there.
