talk about an amazing machine. True its bulky, has a laptop screen, and when it runs linux its kinda slow... but taking a ps3 to my friends house for a weekend would be about ten times more likely. man it's sexy

A laptop with blu-ray and PS3 gaming abilities. You can buy a flight to Japan and on your way back, you can watch blu-ray pr0n AND play Ps3 games while in-flight. How amazing is that? >=D

Hmmm... this monster is just not warming up to me. It looks way too bulky and looking at some of engadget's pics.... the fit and finish is just too rough in many areas. Maybe it's the photographs.... just does not look very refined to me. The volume knob looks like a bad skin mole growing out off the box. The over sized logo looks reminds me of an inexperienced tatoo artist. I'm just not getting it. As a garage hack it's interesting, but not compelling.

GAMES-ECT - RTFA buddy. The info is in the article (see hyperlinks). Its pretty sweet i have to say, but for $8,000 and the way the housing market is these days, i could almost put a down payment on a decent condo. I would love to see it in action though. I wonder about the cooling....

Still pales in comparison to the sheer gravity generating bulk of my area 51 Alienware laptop. otherwise, top work to the boy
