17.3 Full HD LED Backlit 16:9 Widescreen, 1920 x 1080

1080 should only be used by CHEAP 17+ inch laptops, not these. 1920x1200 should be the min given the size

Fast computers are overrated? Or are you just mad because you can't afford one?

 

[zachary k]

don't even think of putting a battery in there, or putting it on your lap. that thing is a portable desktop, not laptop.

 

[rebb]

Sounds like a sweet desktop replacement, and the prices are competitive too. I can't imagine the battery would last more than a few minutes while gaming though.

I'd prefer a car, or maybe a house, but it's not up to be the what they wanted it to be if it's only LED backlight, you don't use 3 SSDs in RAID, & where is that docking station BTW? If I could afford this, just for fun, I'd ask Honda to send me one of those 99% silicon refurbish Victoria's Secret robots to deliver the thing ;-)

I'm not much when it comes to desktop-laptop GPU comparisions (except I know that desktop>laptop GPUs anyday, anytime), so I'm wondering, how does 2 gtx 480M's compare to a single gtx 480, 470, and 460??

 

[willgart]

Not sure about the target population.
is it for gaming purpose or development purpose?
24Gb = Dev (running VMs), but not the video card
980x and GTX480 is for gamers, but not the memory...

so what is the usage for this computer?

$13168, 100% beefed up

This is just a clevo x7200......Toms hardware does an attrocious job pointing this out when ever they review clevo laptops....they act like the company selling it engineered it from the ground up when all they really did is through their sticker on the lid and offer a warranty.

Articles like this make people think toms gets paid for these "advertisements"

And I am totally pro laptops, read my comments in the M17x review, this is just unimpressive (the article, not the laptop, the laptop is awesome)

 

[Rhynn]

Hahaha....$13,908 with everything. That includes the 50" plasma touted as a "second display". rofl.

 

[Parsian]

Almost getting there to match the price of a Macbook Pro. Nice Try!

 

[g00fysmiley]

starting price... 500 bucks over what i paid for my car. nice laptop but much better places to spend that kind of money, but if you need a ncie laptop this would work... though i do question like willgart that much ram and gaming gpu ... kinda a bragging rights on the ram for a gamer and so en engeneer can talk his company into this then game on it maybe... its an odd choice for sure

 

[silversurfernhs]

Love this company - the old spirit of Alienware didn't die when Dell took over; It lives on reborn @ Origin PC.

 

[rwmunchkin12788]

At those prices I might as well spend less than half that for an awesome desktop and then pay a buddy 1500 dollars to build a carrying case to transport it.

What's the car and what model? 2000$ for a car sounds nice as long as it's not a ****** old car that's been used by two dozen other people.
The starting price seems great though when I look at it first hand, even with 2x460's it seems like a decent price seeing as it's a laptop. Then you try pushing on the actual 24gb and extra's from the starting point and you start going, "Ahh, dreams gone."

I'd rather carry around my 50 lb desktop.

you can choose what GPU you want and how much memory you want. So if you want it for gaming you only buy 6 GB of DDR3 and the best GPU but if you want it for VM you buy the cheapest GPU and lots of memory

 

[eklipz330]

i bet this thing weighs at least 30lbs

 

[casperstouch]

too, bad I already have a great desktop and now don't have that much cash just laying around. That is the type of laptop I would like to see in more places to compare prices. It diffidently has the everything I would need for programming, work, video editing, home, gaming, school/college, and media. For a laptop it is a must to be able to connect to my 50" in the living room wirelessly.

15 with the power supply. Instead of betting you could just do 30 seconds worth of researching before trying to make the laptop look bad

and you get a free bottle of muscle gain formula to assist you with making the laptop mobile.....

93 camaro v6

needed a new water pump and thermostat to get it running righ tbut she runs great looks great and i'm the 3rd owner

as for the laptop yea its crazy nice i just question the amount or available ram and graphics card combo seems liek they's want an enterprise series and a gaming series this kinda fits both with a price tag to match
