There is more to buying a laptop than the guts.. I bought my macbook pro because the engineering and design of the unibody case, touch pad, power adapter, screen crispness and everything else kicks the living crap out of every laptop i've owned..

most people who "hate macs" do so because they can't afford it.

Just because you can't afford a benz doesn't mean it sucks..
True... a laptop is very dependent on sturdy construction and heat management/airflow

What GPU does your laptop use?
Laptops are just a different beast than desktops....
A good gaming laptop from, say Alienware (I hate that they're owned by Dell now), would run you just as much as a Mac Book
I don't really laptop Game though....
As far as desktops... you can completely replicate Mac Pro hardware, get an Antec 900 or HAF case and be no worse for the wear
Even if you CAN afford a Mac Pro... Unless you are using MAC specific software (Like LOGIC or Digital Performer), Then I'd really suggest a PC
For a pure gaming machine... you wouldn't even discuss apple
