Getting a laptop fairly soon, price isn't an issue.

What i'm looking for is something that's high end, has great battery life, able to play recent games decently (though I'm not talking about ultra quality setting stuff here), reliability, a good cooling system, and all that jazz. Not very familiar with laptops unfortunately, so I don't even know where to look as far as brands and the like goes.

Avoid Dell and HP.

Asus is pretty good gaming-wise, and I'm sure that if you were motivated enough to tinker, you could dual boot Linux with Windows, for more work-oriented programs. A friend of mine has a really nice Toshiba so that's okay I guess.

If you're using it almost exclusively for work, go for a mac; but really, games.
