Notebooks are nice in that regards: Power, Heat, & Noise. However, I know I've toasted a laptop and a half playing WOW for 6 hours and after that experience, I wouldn't really rely on a laptop anymore for WOWing BSDs while in the middle of a raid just isnt fun. Just bad experience for me.

I was still able to salvage that other laptop though but it still gets hot after like 3-4 hours of gaming where I have to take a break (even though it has an aftermarket base fan cooler).
