    well you probably heard the rumors of an multi-gpu notebook but right now it is in development. Laptop logic has just posted the official word from WidowPc that are developing this 19-inch monster. They state that cooling is being highly address and the consumer should not think twice about cooling.

    They use the term "Portable" loosely.

    That's a luggable for sure. :) It would be for someone who goes to Lan parties often, or just doesn't have the space for a full-fledged desktop.

    *shudders* pricetag . . don't know, don't want to guess!

    Luggable.... Still a lot better than those monsters a decade ago! Anyway... I guess the multi gpu is nice, but then it defeats the purpose of a notebook: To be mobile. I'm guessing the multi gpus is going to add a lot of weight and consume crazy power. The 19'' is nice though

    Depends on how mobile you mean? You can still take it places without lugging around your tower and keyboard. I am sure you need to have it chained to a wall, but it is still mobile. Some may enjoy having a 30 min battery life just plugging it in the wall of your living room or library etc., at least it can move if needed.
