    16GB for a true workstation does have its uses. same with the quadcore. lets think of a mobile cad station or a music/production/adobe/premiere mobile powerhouse. I'm thinking of getting this from work for my next laptop from them this upcoming year. i'd probably start with 4gb and then wait for the price to drop or for newegg to carry the ram! but that gfx card is a beast, and no SLI issues to worry about either...

    I heard that card was based on the 260 or 280 series, but not sure. i figure more of the 9800gtx for the base GPU.

    Yea it is actually a very very good laptop.

    17" UltraSharp™ WideScreen WUXGA RGB LED Edge2Edge Covet Display
    I bet that color accuracy is dead on

    PLEASE make a gaming version of this using the case. It is thinner than the M1730 if I'm not mistaken and I like the looks a hell of a lot better.

    @Whizzo - The 3700FX isn't a gaming card so it will get good performance however the 9800GTX will still outperform it. In addition, most to ALL windows applications cannot use more than ~3GB unless they are specifically designed to be 64bit. No games are currently designed that way so honestly the difference between this laptop and his will be minimum.
