30 minute battery life?

I'm only guessing because who needs SLI in a laptop? I can understand people doing it in desktops, but this whole "everything has to be portable" culture needs to be curtailed, because this is insanity. I don't understand, maybe it's because I play games on a TV on a comfortable couch and find that to be the optimal gaming experience.

These huge DTR notebooks are getting too much. Its not a notebook, if it needs its own generator to power it images/smilies/mellow.gif

One 7800GTX in my laptop is good enough for me, SLi in a notebook is too much..

Well, I love laptops and I love gaming, so for me - this is the perfect laptop. I don't particularly use laptops on the move or anything, just as desktop replacement machines.

But is it worth the price? Not sure what it is, but it would seem like a $5000 or more system? images/smilies/wacko.gif

That's not bad, I'm guessing the Turion is where the price goes down a bit compared to having a FX-57 or FX-60 in it. I bet that thing runs twice as hot and the battery lasts half as long as my Aviator FX7! images/smilies/lol.gif

I'm comtemplating a Dell Inspiron 9400 at the moment, can't quite afford the Dell Inspiron XPS M170 - though that's tempting me too, might have to save up! images/smilies/biggrin.gif
