Looks like a cross between the HP business series, a Macbook, and a Clevo M57RU chassis.

[freddysanchez]

[SneakySnake]

up to 2 GB of DDR3 ??? pardon?

 

[mmahoney]

Wow. The 2GB DDR3 max is pretty lame, really. My netbook has a 3GB DDR3 max!

 

[mr_tuel]

yawn

From the Dell USA website "Up to 16GB of fast 1333MHz DDR3 memory for large data sets". I believe 2GB is the minimum.

my friend has been telling me that usb 3.0 isn't standard... does anyone have any concrete proof that it will be a standard?

 

[apache_lives]

Already stock ASUS laptops with USB3 at my shop - old news.

Why wouldn't it? Granted, it won't be mainstream at least by end of this year.

Should be "up to 16 GB of DDR3", according to engadget.com

 

[jlyu]

lol...2gb yea right it says 16gb..unless they just edited it

 

[jn77]

so I guess Dell is still over priced.... when will all this be standard in the XPS Series? USB 3.0? 16gb ram? and what happened to the blu ray burners? I am not paying double to purchase their "business line" ...

 

[jlyu]

lol..this has a firepro in it..meaning it most likely is a workstation..you know how expensive workstation cards are, and plus that with a i5? haha pretty expensive..and the m7740 is one i havnt seen before.id definiley buy..except if i could upgrade to an i7..and if i was limitless with money

 

[jn77]

I really could care less for the FirePro... I am looking for a 5970 w/ 2gb ddr5 and 6 display ports to connect to my dell monitors for photo and video editing.

And I do not want to haul my tower around in the van

 

[jlyu]

haha..im not sure if a 5970 has come out for mobile platforms..i guess your going to have to wait..

 

[seraphimcaduto]

$4000 eh? and they say apple is expensive.....dude im NOT getting a Dell.

 

[jrharbort]

And this... is why I love to shop ASUS. Great reliability, excellent warranties, and awesome prices.

 

[jlyu]

ASUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one thing I don't like about Asus Laptops, is I want to configure it to order, they don't have a web site setup as well as Dell for configuring the options you want. You are stuck with what they give you.

 

[free1dom]

$4,219??? Meh too expensive (For Me)

That's a small price to pay for a small price to pay.

A nice 32nm quad core i7 (with HT, of course), 12GB of DDR3 (tripple 4GB DIMMs), dual ATi 2GB 5870m's, a 7200rpm 1TB 2.5" drive (1TB models exist, they are just slightly thicker than standard 2.5" drives), dual 256GB gen3 x-18m's in RAID 0 (hopefully coming soon since Intel has their new 22nm or whatever memory), OLED 4k resolution (would be godly on a laptop), and a 18.4" screen.
That would be the only laptop I'd pay $2,500 for.

Crysis that.

Too expensive for me.
