I know I am more of a desktop person because I can do more with the computer but I do also like laptops for portability.
The thing about laptops is they often do not last as long as desktops because of the amount of heat they give off. Then there are the vendor specific issues when it comes to repairs and power supplies. Upgrading can also be an issue.
The next San Antonio Computer Show and Super-Sale is May 22nd http://www.pcshows.com/
You can find good deals there.
You might also find something more affordable at: http://www.altex.com/Notebook-Systems-C10901.aspx
I wouldn't go Gateway. I first started hearing complaints about them in Europe in 2000. They have several complaints in the USA too. Also, MPC Corp., buyer of Gateway's business PC line, has filed for Chapter 11.
Be careful of Best Buy they have a horrific reputation when it comes to customer service. http://www.my3cents.com/search.cgi?criteria=Best+Buy
I hope this helps. If you need to know something more specific let me know.
