Well he could always just not take the battery to make it lighter -- I dont see that as working long without a power cord available. Might want to invest in some form of external cooling for it also -- that thing probably gets hotter than blue blazes. Afraid to ask what you paid for that thing.



About 3 hours gaming on battery power. It doesn't get too hot either. Paid around 2k (WAY lower than original price). I think original was closer to 3k.


edit - I already have an ultrabook for easy portable work. This was more of a going somewhere for awhile so i can work and game laptop, so I'm not super worried if it ends up being annoying to move around

Hey, gotta spend money on the things that make you happy. For some it is strippers and for others it is computers. Conveniently for you it is both.

That monitor is the bomb. Does it glare a lot you noticed?

I laughed


Haven't used it anywhere with a ton of light yet, so not sure. I can see it being bad in sunlight though, so I may end up getting a matte overlay for it

I wouldn't go alienware either, but a lot of people swear by it. So, *shrug*

Grats on your new toy Gil.

Thanks.


I wasn't too thrilled about the price, but I had to go through Dell as that's where our work account is, and none of their XPS lines had decent dedicated graphics

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
