Dual Core Laptop - WidowPC

[waters1701]

I just found this while browsing engadget.com: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000150070599/

Looks powerful and looks like it's the first dual core, what do you think?

Actually RockDirect was the first I believe, but they're in Europe.

As far as I can tell, the WidowPC is a Sager re-badge. Doesn't it look just like this?

Anyway, its very powerful. Its also very heavy and very expensive.

I've got a Pentium 4 Sager w/Go 7800GTX in it sitting around that I don't want to play with because the thing is FRICKIN' HUGE. The power brick alone is the size of a damn football (only flattened).

If you're looking for a small gaming PC, build yourself an SFF. Cheaper, faster, and better.

Eh, I was pretty sure that Voodoo and Sager had a Dual Core notebook awhile ago...

Not sure what why anyone could justify to themselves why to get such a monster...

Edit: I agree with fbrdphreak. For the price of that Widow, you could buy two similar SFF systems with 2 fairly decent monitors and still have money left over for a decent traveler notebook....

Or you can wait for a true mobile dual core processor based laptop in February... no point buying a dual core desktop processor based laptop..... Weight, size, and terrible battery life make them portable, not mobile.
