Problem is, most laptops struggle to run the simplest of games. Though for "future proofing" laptops is definitely not the right area.

However, with good specs, a good computer can last quite a time. I bought a £1000+ desktop two and a half years ago and I am running everygame I have on high/ultra. Makes you wonder how much better is the latest nvadia sli'd, when my GTX8800 is still at high/ultra performance in games.
