If you have a main computer, I'd say don't go with a 17 inch.
As a student, I'm always lugging around my laptop and everyone I know who owns a 17 inch stopped lugging it around after the first week in my first year.
Take a look at Dell XPS, it's slightly more expensive than some of the laptops out there but the screen is really nice and it has a dedicated graphic card which can be switched on or off (to save power). I don't really game on my laptop with Starcraft 2 being an exception but it can handle Starcraft 2 pretty well considering it is a 13 inch laptop.
