More than just gaming... Dell's latest $10k laptop ????

each to his own, i think the "wraparound" aluminium case has something going for it.

 

That thing has **** value for money. I specced it up to the closest to my AW and it was about £300 more expensive!

 

dude, the screen alone eats those 300 quid easily.

 

Yeah the fact that its a 17inch sucks, why have 17 when you can have 15.4

 

i was actually more referring to the quality of the screen.

 

What's so good about it? Apart from it being L.E.D

 

well, it's 17", WUXGA, with LED backlighting, and i believe the "RGB" stands for (near-perfect?) color accuracy, which afaik is very hard to come by (read: expensive to develope and manufacture) in laptop screens.

PS: backlit keyboard FTW

 

This thing is a complete ripoff. I saw it on there and just lol'd at some poor ******* who's going to buy this thing.

This is a very poor attempt at Dell trying to cross into what has been known as "Sager" territory..

For that price you could get two maxed out NP9262's... and they have dual 9800 GTX's..

They must have picked up on some of Alienware's pricing tactics.. +2k$ for the name.

 

Hmmm..$10K.....I think not...

Yeah, I've been looking at it the last week or so. This close to actually going for it (Doesn't have to be specced to 10k, 4GB RAM would be fine for me atm). I need a 3D rig for work but at the same time the Quadro spooks me since I game also. I'd guess at least 10k 3D marks but who knows what particle effects/shaders/shadows are/are not showing up when you load the odd game. May just get it & see how it goes, return it if it pukes all over itself in Crysis.

Apparently it's going over people's heads that this is a visual simulation/fx/3d rendering workstation, not an overpriced game machine. Hence the jog shuttle. Rendering eats RAM & CPUs up with a spoon & asks for more.

It's lame tho, I'd have an Alienware if they'd just offer some of the things this one has.
