I'm not sure what I would be more worried by putting this beast on my lap. The heat or the weight :laugh:

P.S. April 2nd, so I presume the news is legit

 

Wow. Thats one heck of a machine they have there.

I'll be afraid of both. The heat AND the mass of that thing. Anyway i think it's my first time seeing a Core 2 Extreme based laptop after it's announcement from Intel.

 

Looks like the Clevo D900C:

A lot of people are going to be rebranding that notebook . .

A very good way to identify scam is looking at the claims.In more than 80% you can tell who are you dealing with...

 

"That's not a moon. That's a laptop."
Am I right, or am I right?

But, seriously, there's a point where you may as well just carry a desktop around, or a truck; and I think 17" laptops, especially ones like that, fall into that category.

 

Note: This CompAmerica OCRA 9191 model [more than likely] is reselling the Pro-Star 9191 [whom is an authorized Clevo dealer].

Not only does the model number just gave it away, but the site and config layout is identical to Pro-Star's.

Although this CompAmerica is charging [exactly] $100 more per pre-config that Pro-Star is charging.

I guess I will have to add these guys to the Clevo Guide.

 

Power Notebooks has this laptop for sale "Sager", I priced it with all the goodies, WUXGA monitr, with dual 7950GTX cards, Extreme C2D processor, 4gigs ram, and all the works, this beast comes to $5,800, now that is INSANE!!!!

 

It's not as insane as my Toshiba Tecra 700CT.

OMG, now that is a BEAST, where can I get one of those, does Toys R US still carry them, hehe, now all jokes aside, can you believe how technology is moving so fast, todays laptops, Computers all kinds of electronics are tomorrows throwaways.

 

If you want one, I'd be willing to part with mine for, oh, half price?

Yeah, technology moves fast - too fast almost. Every month there's something better. Now the real question is, how much more productive are we because of the new technology over the old?

 

I have to agree there. Old technology is sufficient for the vast majority of us out there. It's that nagging urge to have faster loading/access times that get us to replace our systems.

Hehe. Just retired an old desktop in my shop from 2000. 866 Mhz Pentium III, Geforce 2, a whopping 128 MB of RAM. But it still got the job done .

BTW--Chaz, that reminds me of the laptop Chandler had in an early-season Friends episode.
