CompAmerica's new 'most powerful laptop on Earth,' the Orca Extreme

With the way CompAmerica goes around bragging about the superiority of its laptops, you'd think that the company was some high end, boutique gaming manufacturer -- instead of one of the many companies simply offering rebadge after rebadge. Just like other 'bigger than life' players such as Eurocom and Rock, ol' CA makes most of its loot selling machines originally available from Clevo, so it should be no surprise that its latest 'most powerful laptop on Earth' -- the 17-inch Orca Extreme -- is really just that D900C we saw last month. You know, Core 2 Extreme CPU, dual GeForce 7950 GTX cards in SLI, up to 4GB of RAM, and of course those three hard drives that can offer up to 600GB of storage in RAID 0. This whale of a laptop can be yours immediately -- that is, if you don't already own one of its doppelgangers -- starting right around $2,600.

About 20 minutes.

I hereby rebadge it "world most looking like an HP laptop" = boring

I'm not sure what would be more dangerous if you put that thing in your lap... The heat, or the weight.

They really should stop calling stuff like this "laptops" and use something like "Portable desktop replacement".

What's the point in quoting all those specs, and then a price that doesn't include any of the hw mentioned immediately before? Surely Engadget knows better than that.
