Your comp is alright but with todays low prices it doesn't seem that great. My dad just got a laptop for word processing (he's a writer, that's all he does on it) for eight hundred that has 4 gigs RAM, 500 hard disk and "the best graphics card available in laptops today" according to the store clerk. I much prefer laptops to desktops, they're just more comfortable to me.
I can promise you that it doesn't have the "best graphics card available in laptops today" if he only paid $800 for it. The clerk either pulled a fast one on you, or you misunderstood.
You're also naive to like laptops over desktops for gaming. You'd need to plug a mouse into it anyway for any sort of gaming outside of TBS's, so how it's more "comfortable", I have no idea.
Also, you didn't list the CPU, which is essential to gaming.. so it's hard to rate if $800 is worth it or not.
You say his comp is "alright", but it'd blow that laptop out of the water..
