Unless that thing packs a 12 cell battery, you're mobility wont be that great!
Other than that: It looks great, and the specs are awesome! Its like having an E8400 under the hood!

Turbo ram is another name for shared memory. For having a GTX Im hoping its not meaning that.

I've only seen the Qosmio series from Saudi Arabia (and they're crap). Does it even exist in the US?

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
That's where the price to performance ratio hits the wall - HARD ![]() Desktops are forever

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 but my lappie was horribily outdated.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

i'm surprised how many people hate Toshiba here... i'm out of touch in the laptop world, but my Pentium 3 laptop still works great to this day.

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.

Looks shiny
My laptop has no battery and is held together with gaffer tape But it would be way out of my price range |

so people buy these gaming laptops to bring to lan parties? why not just buy a good lan case with a sturdy handle? it prolly weights just as much.

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.

She's on my take home list. If she's dumb enough to do that, she's dumb enough to sleep with me
