Now is that a laptop, I wonder. It is too big, it can just serve as a desktop replacement.:bleh: :tongue:
 
That damn monster costs over 4000$ and its named as 'Dragon' by HP!!!!:p

Btw, pre production benchmark scores show a score of 4002 for 3Dmark06.. Impressive i would say for the 2600XT so lets see how much the 8600M GT gonna go..:)
 
Im curious on what kind of people might buy this one. I always thought the 17" ones were too big to be carried or even worth being called laptops/notebooks or whatever.
 
Acer has a 19 inch notebook called the Acer 9800.

Some people need these, especially if they need large screen, desktop power, and dont need true portability.

Lets consider the case of a software engineer who gets regularly transferred from city to city. If he had a desktop, he is screwed.

But if he had this, then its so much more convenient to transport from city to city.
