idiots idiots all you people saying get a desktop instead.
What if you like to game at friends houses but dont want to drag around a desktop. It's much easier carrying a laptop then carrying a desktop + monitor to a LAN party.
Vmem you dont use it on battery you use it plugged in. Though you can get a few hours of web browsing if you must. You use this just like you would a desktop except its way more portable.
cons29 you dont carry this everyday, its not a daily use laptop like that. You only carry it when you are taking it somewhere to game on.
azn cracker no some people like to LAN party some people like to game at different places on their own comp but dont want to lug around a desktop and monitor. more narrow mindedness
I own an m18x and an Asus Zenbook Prime and a i7-980x + 5870 desktop and each 1 has its uses.
I understand exactly what you mean and love LAN parties myself, however, I have a mini-ITX machine built exactly for that purpose with a stock clock i5 2500 and Radeon 7870 in a bitfenix prodig, which I can easily pick up, throw in the backseat of my car, and go to my friend's place. all of this cost about half as much as this laptop would cost, and seriously, even when you LAN party, you would throw that laptop in the back of your car as well no? or at least take a bus (which wouldn't be too bad with a prodigy either). surely you don't mean to WALK all the way to your friend's place? which is the only situation where I see having this concrete slab being advantageous.
that aside, I see you own three separate machines each with a well suited, niche purpose. this is great and it sounds like you're making pretty good use out of your m18x. however, keep in mind most people don't have that kind of cash to spend $2k+ on a laptop only for LAN parties. you won't believe the amount of college students and parents I've had to persuade away from getting an m18x as the student's SOLE LAPTOP going into college...
