    laptop to replace desktop??

    Im going to get a laptop in feb. or so and was just wanting to know what all is out there. i will have around 15-2000 to spend (1500 is preferd) anyway im in school (4 hour classes) and i need something i can type my notes and such but also during breaks be able to play games such as bf1942 and desert combat. Any sugestions? Also would i need to buy more than 1 battery? how are the graphics with laptops are they up there with desktops yet?

    I was looking at the hp's and the higher end one comes you can upgrade to a geforce go fx5600 also it has a 17 monitor that sounds nice and all but i assume it will kill battery life right? When im using it at home i can plug it into the wall but like stated about my class is around 4 hours so i need something that will be pretty efficient battery wise.
