Money is not a problem, what to buy is.
I would really like a very good laptop, so it can last me two or three years. I guess I'd need 3 Ghz of Processing power, 1 gig of RAM, as much on the hard drive as possible, a good graphics card, and a good sound card.
I'm looking for something that can run Oblivion, Medieval 2, Supreme Commander, Command and Conquer 3, the best kind of games, in other words...

Anyone have a suggestion which model to ask for?
I can't provide specific models, but the thing you really want to consider is, as xdeathfire pointed out, the trade off between battery life and power.

GPUs, especially, take a hell of a lot of battery power; and as such, laptops with discrete graphics cards have much, much lower battery lives than those with integrated chips.

Considering you want to game on it, the decision between discrete/integrated is already made, but you should still keep power requirements in mind...
