Sony seems to be a tad overpriced for the most part, too. Guess it's that whole brand-name thing at work.
As for other laptops, I'm not sure, really. Toshiba's look not-too-shabby, and Apple's laptops are made out to be awsome, and maybe they are, but for games and stuff...
And what about Dell? Given them a look? You can put a computer together on their website, so you can see what they have to offer right there. Might not be too bad.
Compaq's laptops look sexy, but I've heard a lot of complaints about Compaq home-systems, so I'm not sure how the laptops stack up in comparison.
As far as I can tell, IBM's notebooks are mainly business oriented, so they probably all suck for gaming.
You apparently still have time, so fish around a bit, read notebook reviews and buying guides and whatever, and I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something.
And if push comes you shove, you can always just kill someone else who's planning to go on the trip in order to free up a little extra space, and that way you can bring a full sized system with you.
