it may be overkill, but hey there's a market for a machine like this as many people are replacing desktops with laptops and for a gamer this machine would be heaven...

Weighing in at ~AUD$5,000 (before tax, shipping, 15A power upgrade to house, etc), you can read all about it here.

Not much of a thread without some kind of link for further discussion!!

It was from a magazine, not a website.

Acer have 20" laptops too - and Dell class their XPS M2010 as a laptop, even though it's really more of a portable PC.

But why? It'd be awful as a laptop (far too heavy, no decent battery life, and it wouldn't even fit on some desks). It'd be awful as a desktop too (slow, no expansion options, and too expensive).

Also, RAID0 in a laptop has to get an award for the worst idea ever. Laptops will tend to be moved more often while the HDD is running than desktops - and in RAID0, if one drive dies then all your data's gone permanently.
