You fags can go rain on someone else's parade. I have a umbrella and poncho.

Nice try troll, no one is that stupid.
$1,749.00 for a notebook that will net about 200MH/s (7970M is an underclocked 7870), you'd be better off not mining on it even if you already had one in hand (notebooks are not designed for this sort of thing).

Once ASICs start coming out, I think it will feel like a big waste of money 
Why do you need to take your mining rig with you? As long as you have a closet somewhere, just park it and let it do it's thing. They usually don't require constant monitoring...

I am a MFC model so I will leave 2 computers at home running and then this one is what I take when I travel anyways. I also think BFL is a scam....
Then you are a very silly little girl and in exactly the right profession...... stay away from BTC because you are loosing money.
Just go with a custom built Sager:

You can build it however you want, and get dual 7970M GPUs

Did that i7 have a gpu? My desktop i7 is getting 12mhs
The apu gpu is good but still nothing compared to a discrete gpu
I agree, but if you planning to use a laptop on the move, you do need something which can reasonably last more than 1 hour at full power without the power cord connected. An APU (A8 based laptop), can last many hours, even running at full power.
Most power hungry laptops, with discrete cards, are not capable on lasting that long on just battery if you using them to their full.
Since you seem to be a fan of using Ebay, I'll add another link that way.
I'd recommend an AMD processor based Laptop (A8). They undervolt and/or overclock well, as I have 2 of the same series.
This allows you to have the power when you need it, but when you don't, allows for a very comfortable low temp for long term use.

They can run very cool, they undervolting/overclocking tools are very easy to use (k10stat).
Also you can mine on them and if you just want to do them as a hobby that is no problem, it handles it fine, without over heating.
I'm not suggesting it can mine very well, but if you want to do that, like others have suggested you'd want to go with something more designed for it.

That would be more powerful I agree. Just a lot more expensive, so what is your budget?

I looked at them and they are sold out.

You are looking at a 5 series. Desktop is at 7.
If you are serious, you need to find the best mobile Radeon they make and find a laptop with it
You should also realize your laptop will be a tiny bit less responsive with intensity even at 1

Yes, but I don't think anyone would recommend mining on laptop graphics chips. Your laptop will run hot and I think you risk burning out your chips.
