Gorman: I don't really understand your obsession with making it as small as possible, unless of course you plan on gaming while exercising vigorously and holding the device with one hand. It completely ruins the gaming experience as you can't see shit. It's not like the other laptops being recommended are going to break your legs when you put them on your lap, or dislocate your shoulder when you carry them either.
For you I recommend a macbook air. It looks pretty.
haha.
The thing is, I have a gaming computer, so I wouldn't game on it much.
I just want to have the option to.
The number of times that I have just had my laptop with me and some mates have sat down for a quick game, or I have been somewhere bored and decided to log on to Minecraft for a few minutes but couldn't because my laptop can't even play that, are so many.
I don't intend to use it as a dedicated gaming platform, but its just the convenience of being able to if the situation arises.
If I didn't care about portability then of course I would not have a smartphone either, I'd just have a laptop with headphones and a 3g card or something.
an 11" is small and light enough to carry around all the time without being a burden. My current laptop is 17"... it is not very fun to carry around (god only knows how bad that 18" would be >_<).
I think a 15" would be ok for what I want, but really I should go in to a shop and have a look.

Sure, the graphics will be pretty and it will run smooth as butter, but you could build your own, for less, while only sacrificing an almost unnoticeable difference.
Well, I really love the laptop casing
For style, I don't think you can beat that case.
et al; alright, lets go with 15" then, what can I get that is nice and 15"? I'll upgrade it to 8gb ram and a 500gb momentus, so don't worry about disk and ram.
