Better laptops
Not sure but man-o-man! These look really good. Quad, 800 ram, RAID5! (at least the first one):smileyhappy:
The Hyper has the realtek version of Sigmatel which from my older laptops never had the audio issues like the newer Dells do. I might just ebay out my XPS and say goodbye....

Just mere heat is not the problem. What about their durability, longevity and stability.
Because other gaming systems (for example xps1730) are not on the light and cool side either. And the prices become comparable with highn end configurations. The question is whether these desktops systems would suddenly die after 3 months or something.
note that for a hardcore gamer, raw performance and game compatibility are more important than mere battery life or weight.
But, as I mentioned, these systems might not be very reliable due to their heavy loaded desktop parts....
- If you've ever seen one of these Clevo-built systems, you know that they're very well cooled - they actually have a decent reputation for reliability.
The downside is that they're huge and bulky, heavy, have enormous external power supplies and relatively poor battery life. They're more luggable than they are notebooks, but they're unbeatable from a performance standpoint (as evidenced by the fact that Dell itself purchased one of Clevo's main vendors - Alienware).

They also appear to be Clevo-built systems, as are most of the Alienware line (from Dell), Sager, Widow PC, and a host of other "boutique" builders - so shop around if you want one - they're all the same at the core, differing in the peripherals and color schemes.
