I used to be more concerned about specs until I came to realise I mainly play old games nowadays.
I switched from a desktop to laptop earlier this year and I'm happy as long as it has enough RAM to yield near instant response times for my requirements. I've transferred most of my data which was spread over 5 hard drives to 2 large external hard drives. Since my 19" LCD would otherwise be sitting around doing nothing, I often use it as a second screen (particularly useful for programming).
