I've always found the idea of a "gaming laptop" kinda silly, I mean you get so much more for the same money with a desktop. Laptops are really handy for school, but you don't need it to do anything more than word processing and web browsing. I'd get a cheap laptop and upgrade the desktop if I were you.
