Just remember that you probably won't be able to play games without being plugged in. Most graphics cards won't work 100% without being plugged in because they'll just take up too much power.
I leave my laptop plugged in when in use anyway, so again not an issue. As for the bag, I can order one with the laptop for roughly $30. Not a huge deal. W7 uses less memory than vista, and my current laptop is 2gig and manages (vista). I think I'll be fine with 4g ram. If I want a high battery life/low capability laptop, I can lower my older one to craptastic for non-gaming use.[/COLOR]
