Gaming desktops and laptops compared

How do top end gaming laptops compare price- and spec-wise with their desktop counterparts?

I would rather get a cheaper screen and a better graphics card. There's no way I would spend R26,100 and only end up with a 560.

Yea ROFL. but i have to say that the screen is very sexy my friend was looking at the 27" version of it and id definitely get it if budgets allow.

For the same cash:

Core i7 2700k
Asus Sabertooth P67R3
Gskill Ripjaw DDRIII 1600 4x4GB (16GB total)
Evga GTX580 Superclocked
Patriot Pyro 120GB Sata III SSD
Seagate Sata III 1TB HDD
Vantec ioN2 800W Modular Psu
Silverstone Raven Series 02 White Edition Chassis
Razer Anansi gaming keyboard
Razer Imperator 4G gaming mouse
Samsung S27A550 27" LED
Windows 7 ultimate 64Bit

That was just a quick build and its still roughly R3000 less than the Rig in the article, and its by far superior.
Drop the 3D vision, its useless and just a fad, that the end user will drop it within a week.

If I was seriously gonna build the above mentioned rig I could probably pull it off for around R22 000.
