    Hmmm.... then I'd recommend something more like a Toshiba Satellite.

    It can balance both.

    Just bought one of those used last week actually. It's mainly for my mom's personal use since she's sadly pretty much confined to her bed and room. However I'll sometimes use it myself when I know I'm going to be upstairs for long periods and need to be close to her room in case she needs a hand with something. It runs WoW pretty decently but that's on low settings. Besides WoW isn't the most graphics intensive game and really requires no more than a good processor and decent internet connection more than anything. I personally have no idea how it'll handle older but more graphics heavy games such as Oblivion. As for newer games no clue.

    Bottom line is this: what games were you planning to play on the go in the first place? While the Sat is a decent laptop I couldn't tell you what it could and couldn't run. If you are planning on PC/laptop gaming the first step is knowing what you will be playing. Next find out the min and recommended system requirements. Finally look for something that surpasses the recommended requirements. A game may run on low settings but some become almost unplayable if your hardware blows.
