Performance PC builder CompAmerica wasn't
about to let Brits have all the
SLI-enabled 19-inch laptop fun, so
they've announced their own gaming-oriented model that looks (and sounds) a lot like the
Rock Xtreme XL and
Evesham Quest A630 that we brought you last week. Like its two doppelgangers, the TigerShark TX-5900 (or 9500,
according to disconcerting misprint at the top of CompAmerica's page) sports two NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX 256MB video
cards, an AMD Turion processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam, PCI-Express slot, 4-in-1 card reader,
and the usual choice of of hard drive and RAM configurations. If you can't wait to get your hands on this $3,500
gamer's delight, well you're out of luck, because CA warns of a 2 to 3 week period between order and delivery (although
they claim that delivery cycles will return to 2 to 3 days starting April 15th).

Awesome... yet another notebook vendor bought Clevo's latest unannounced offering. Hence everyone's wonderful claim to having the first SLI notebook available soon.

OK, these guys want me to pay them $3500 to build a laptop but they can't even put together a web site that works? That site is worse than an Ebay store. Next!

#2 you can buy it using PayPal so in a way it is eBay store - not better nor worse.

Haha, someone needs HTML and CSS classes!

Let me guess, the battery life is about 1 hour because of the SLI?
#2 You are absolutely right, if you can't make a professional website that looks half-way decent in all browsers then you don't deserve to have a website.

Personally I think any laptop with a screen bigger than 15.4 is no longer a laptop. 19 inches is bigger than my monitor and way too much bulk to carry around
