I know some people who have tried to get some of the high-end laptops for gaming and they are just not viable. The top of the line alienware my friend tested basically would start anything on fire because of how hot it was. You could not touch the laptop case when it was running at full bore.
There are some concessions you give up for the size. The good thing is there are not many applications that really need all that power. The average user can probably get by on a fairly tame laptop/desktop far from top-of-the-line.
