Most machines I see seem to have the gaming capability I'm looking for as long as the graphics card can handle the load. My biggest concern is with Windows Vista. I've heard a lot of criticism about the software - then again, there was the same criticisms about XP when it came out. Is Vista as bad as they say? If so, is it possible to get a laptop with XP instead of Vista?
And as long as I'm asking, if anyone has a spare laptop they want to get rid of, I'll be glad to discuss that with you too.

NWN is already old. Most laptops will easily handle that game, unless they too are old which in that case you don't want them anyways. Vista is okay, but compatibility issues still plague it. Obviously laptops aren't gaming rigs by design, but more so for word processing portability etc. but NWN should run alright on anything you buy now.
