[citation][nom]airborne11b[/nom]The whole point of this laptop is gaming on the go. It's not meant to replace a $1500 gaming PC. Anyone who can drop $2500+ on a gaming laptop would most likely (if not retarded) have a gaming PC for when they're at home. There are many times when you want to game on the go, especially for mobile working class people (Business trips, military deployment on down time, etc etc). Now, I hate that they gave this thing a 555 video card, but I at least understand WHY they did it. They could have kept the price the same or cheaper, and added a beefier gpu (or duel GPUs) but then the laptop would HAVE to be thick and heavy (like SAGAR 17" beasts). They are trying to compromise on weight, size and gaming performance. I think this product is a good deal for gamers on the go and don't want to carry the full sized 5" thick 15lb beasts. But anyone who would buy this as their primary gaming machine would be retarded lol.Also, though I did laugh at the concept of the reditt comic, I also laughed at the $2800 build with shit 560's in SLI. What a piece of crap "fantasy build"But as I stated at the top, the point of this thing is gaming on the go. No one wants to carry a full desktop, monitor, keyboard, mouse on a 2 week business conference. So it's a good deal, but only to a specific group of customers.[/citation]
This might also be an only machine for those with reasonable gaming requirements that want to include portability in their capabilities. Everyone doesn't need SLI or 700 fps to play WoW or Candyland, for some 650 fps will do. However, while it includes a VERY VERY VERY fast dual-core i7, I don't really comprehend why something of an i7 2820QM isn't used. If it increased the cost some (which I don't think would be necessary, but we'll give Razer the benefit of the doubt) then fine.
