My friend has been kicking himself for the longest for buying an Area-51 m17x. Its the sleekest lappy I've seen in a long time but the 3870 & 8800gt beats it :ohwell: That's where the price to performance ratio hits the wall - HARD :banghead:

Desktops are forever :rockout:

i agree...i do 90 percent of gaming with my 3870 on a desktop. but my lappie was horribily outdated. let me put it to you this way... it had no internal way to burn cds.. all it was good for was internet/document creation.. and tuning my wrx.. so i upgraded my mobility instead of my desktop.

pity about the turbo cache memory... that means that it uses system DDRII ram for the graphics... which will mean a lot of stuttering

Yep cooling is a big prob with lappys as its inadequate

with mine i end up elevating it at the back to alow air flow

If manufacturers came up with better cooling then we would see the term desktop replacement being a reality.

some poor, poor people... just cant assemble rigs. i dont mean build, i mean plug the cables in. I know a girl who 'pushed too hard' and her PSU 'burst into flames' sounds fun to me... she'd be a riot at a lan with that rig.
