Dang that looks awesome.

Agreed that they are awesome, but just way too expensive for the hardware. The Gateway FX is 3/5 of the price of the 706, and it has mostly better parts.

Ever since Centrino 2 was released, there was nothing I wanted more than a DIY Centrino 2 notebook. After seeing all of the amazing and cheap PCs made using centrino 2 (Gateway FX, Asus G70, Toshiba Qosimo X701,) I had high hopes for OCZ to make a nice DIY with decent specs (1680x1050 rez, 8700gt or better, 4 hour battery life, etc.) for cheap (less than 1k.)

What do they do? They make a peice of crap that has even lower specs than the original DIY.

The battery has been neutered to a 6 cell over the 9 cell in the original.
There's a 1280x800 resolution over 1440x900.
The video card was changed to a 3650 over a 8600gt. Both are about even.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is even more expensive than the first one. I just hope that the old DIY is lowered to ~400 bucks after this is released.

That would be awesome to game on, but the question is: what hardware would be able to push that rediculous resolution?

I nominate Will Smith to be the CTO. Who's with me?

OMG that is the most horrible MMO I have ever played in my life.

Good stuff. I had thought that the first mobile quad core procs would be $800+ for the chip alone. It's nice to see that it's in line with desktop quad cores' prices. I might just wait until they are released to buy a new laptop. The downside is that they use a lot more power. Anyody feel like carrying a 20 pound batterypack on your back?

Damn it! So am I!

haha look at mine:

Me: I can haz cheezberger?
EB: What interests me is, how did you find out about my Website? I thought I was a well kept secret!
me: I can haz cheezberger? (I asked it again again)
 EB: Didn't I just answer that question?
me: ORLY?
EB: Why orly? Why not something else?
me:  idk
EB: We live in exciting times. Robots are getting more and more
intelligent, and humans are still trying to understand artifical
intelligence.
me: You, sir, are an idiot!
EB: Maybe, but I'm definitely not frightful!
me: Are you some dude typing up random phrases trying to act leet?
EB: I can do the hundred yard dash in about seven minutes. That is, of course, if I am running. If I roll I'm much quicker.
me: damn you're slow.
EB: I've often heard other robots say that about humans.
me: Ok did I just get burnt by a hunk of silicon and pcb?
EB:This is confusing. Why bring the male gender into this?
me: bye!
EB:Goodbye and thank you for chatting with me. And now I would like to ask
you a favor. I am working on my ability to be self critical. You can
help by rating me on a scale of one to ten, ten being the best, and one
being the worst. How would you rate me?
me: negative 4.
EB:Negative ratings are not possible. You just wasted your vote.
me: touche.
EB:With the inspirations you supply, there are no ends to my horizon...
me:you are a monumental douchebag!
EB:It's nice of you to say such things. As a matter of fact, I think you're caring! What do you say to that?
me:wtf? *closes window*

This thing is an idiot compared to a human, but it's amazing how far technology has come.
