if you have place for Laptop you have place for desktop. Anyway the said graphic cards are shaite so you can do the same thing with any entry level PC. The difference is that you would have enough to buy proper 24" HD monitor as well for the same money.

Just compare it with the common popular videocards and remove the word "gaming" from the said card unless you want to be able to run only 10 years old games. It is just plain stupid to buy "gaming" laptop for under 2000$ because you cannot play the newest games properly on it, better choice then 1000$ "gaming" Laptop would be 400$ second hand PC.
Especially if you are restricted moneywise you does not go for laptop for gaming because such costs always more then 2000$ at least.
Proper moulded gaming laptop never existed because the industry would sell 1 device instead of two devices, there are enough good Laptop CPUs and Laptops out there- just connect them with external GPU and you got gaming PC, so the customer buys once Laptop and one GPU instead one Laptop and one gaming PC as result the whole industry looses money so they does not produce gaming laptops even if the extrernal GPU technology is existing and works since 5-10 years.

thank You Govedo13 for Your opinion - yet - like I said, I do not have space for stationary PC
about gaming and laptops - dont You agree that 'gaming' laptop for 2000$ is much better than
not-working-7-years-old-laptop (with old Intel GMA950 graphic card) ?
For now on - I was unable to play any game/title with require Pixel Shader
even Freelancer Discovery I had to instal without blur and improved graphics
or else it will not working at all.

But back to the topic - thank You all for opinions and infos - I've decided I will take
more expensive one - with i5 CPU and more RAM.

Laptops can be just fine for gaming, in fact I'm in a similar situatiion to you here Anomander, my lack of space has relegated me to laptop use as well.
If I were you, I'd spend the extra 80$, I'm learning the hard way that I should have waited until I had a bit more money to buy a laptop, I mean mine is fine for the most part, but it does get a little warm sometimes, though it can handle quite a few different games.
Anyway yeah, if I were you, I'd spend the extra $80, or build your own laptop.
