Well, Go does better than the ATi in the 2 games that matter most to me. Not that I care, bcos i dont have a lappie. But was hoping for ATI in atleast HL2.

Abit IC7 Max II Advance - P4E3.0@3.45- i875P - 1024mb dual ddr400 3-2-2-6 - Leadtek 6800 128mb@380/850 - 600W dualfan(front/rear) PowerTek Psu - maxtor 4K080H4 & 6Y120P0 - samsung sm-352b

Power Hungry laptops come with HUGE batteries, like 150Wh.

Mine has the biggest for it (98Wh), and when it's playing DVDs it'll go about 1.5-2hrs, when gaming in UT2K4 it'll go 45mins-1hr, Morrowind is a little better. These laptops clock back the processors (both CPU and VPU), my 2.8ghz P4 clocks back to 1.5ghz, and do get some efficiencies, but nothing worth calling them endurance champs.

The biggest drawback is not the battery life, but the system WEIGHT. The XPS and similar laptops are reachin 10-12LBS! and that's WITHOUT the case, power-brick, etc.

That seems to be the biggest drawback, the strain on your Back!

And like Eden eludes to, they run very hot, and significantly louder than you would expect from a laptop, constantly running fans over the heatpipe assembly, even for 2D web-surfing. And the heat coming off them is enough to toast your testies if you're not careful.

I actually Popper the Circuit breaker on that Air Canada power jack (took 2mins to reset) when I was gaming, that's what made me think watching 'Dead Like Me' was less hassle (I porbably coulda played a while on Batteries, but considering it was about 2hr flight without a movie (only flights over 3hrs get movies [except the one from Toronto to Bermuda I always got full movie on that one]). So I didn't want to get stuck half way through the flight trying to recharge the laptop and watch DVDs, incase the laptop popped the circuit breaker even when watching DVDs. So I wouldn't be surprised if with a new laptop the whole airplane dims when you power up your rig.

But man power is getting to be more of an issue, I can't imagine what a P4 3.6GHZHT with MobX800/GF6800GO will churn.
Scary.

I'm already considering replacing the laptop though, with either a 2.4ghz celeron or 1.3ghz Centrino Thinkpad. Man I miss the fit and feel of a ThinkPad. I may have found someone at work to take it for the price of the new Thinkpad (about a $300 loss to me, but worth every penny IMO).

I don't play much flight sim. Dad has M$ flight sim, but I'm not interested. However it would be somewhat appropriate to play on a flight, and visually stunning.

I'm not going anywhere near that one.

There are alot of people around here still pretty sensitive, so I'll just smile and wave, like the idjit that I are is.

The best internet joke \propoganda I ever seen was a picture of the m1a1 abrhams tank that said "what we have", and then on the other side it says "what they have", and it showed a vw bug cut in half and in the second half of the bug was some half baked osama looking guy covered in beads with reigns hooked up to a mule pulling it around and it was labled afgany battle donkey.

My brother is looking for a laptop right now, and he showed me a big 17" HP that had a GeForce 5700 chip. I told him to stay away from anything FX, and that he should look to ATi 9600/9700/9800 or the Go6800 chip. It seems like good performance in newer games on laptop computers is always a losing proposition because they only put the hotshot GPUs on the ritzy models $$$, they suck up a lot of wattage, and they add to the heat problem. First person shooters are the pivotal issue; if you play Starcraft or Europa then there's nothing to worry about.

Rather odd, college is open on Rememberance Day, while high school isn't. I think our education system is lacking some respect in some sectors.
