Also my point was not about how much this cost, but if you're willing to pay $3000+ for a gaming notebook it means you want the best experience that you can get, and a notebook keyboard will never be the best keyboard a user can use.]]>May 5th 2007 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/
Instead of this constant rat race between companies for who will be the first to stick in a faster processor or a better video card they should just focus on cleaning up their existing lineup of dozens of useless models with no difference between one another... It seems like to them its quantity over quality... sigh... all the stupid fools who are responsible for all the crap thats coming from Dell/hp and a dozen other companies should be fired...

Oh and another thing; how in hell are you supposed to play games on this if it starts lagging the moment to turn it on for the first time because of all the adware/shitware/crapware/spyware/malware/dosware? :p

Anyone worth his weight on an FPS uses headphones - firstly, but more importantly, you mean to tell me you don't need a keyboard and mouse for your desktop system? I'd much rather lug around a 12 pound powerhouse than my fully-fledged (much more than 12 pound) desktop system. LAN parties and such help cultivate this theory. The idea behind this isn't the usability of a laptop, it's just the portability. A gaming system you can take anywhere (as long as you have power and internet access).

Granted, as soon as I got one of these systems (assuming I ever did) I'd format it, install XP, and find and install all the drivers. Goes for a clean setup.

And, you can call us geeks, nerds, or whatever technically-advanced fun-making name you want - it's only offensive if we take offense, and usually we're more proud to be geeks and nerds and the like than that!

Now, commenting about the laptop, which is - I believe - the purpose of this article:

Why I'd buy it: "ultra-portable, high-end all in one machine." Add Gamer's input device(s) of choice and audio output device(s) of choice, set up network connection, and you're done!

Why I'd not buy it: too bloody much money! This might be a great price for the components, OS, etc. involved, but if you can't afford it, you can't afford it. The only other thing about this laptop (or any new computer purchase actually) that keeps me from buying a new (branded) system is, as another commenter put it, all the spyware and other malware previously installed from factory that runs in the background by default.

That's what I don't get about computer companies - they want to make a golly-gee-whiz computer and it might be the fastest, slickest thing out there at the time, but they install all this CRAPware on it sucking 30% or more of it's performance right off the bat.

That's what people should be complaining about - stop calling names!]]>Jul 19th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/
That's what I do anyways, got a relatively inexpensive (but media capable) Dell 9400 for trips where I can take a bigger notebook, a 700m for when I can't, and a desktop @ home.]]>May 5th 2007 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/
Yeah, and you sit here trolling the forums. At least we have friends.

Besides, LAN parties are great fun, and really aren't "geeky". I go to LAN parties quite a bit, but if you met me in real life, you wouldn't think that I'm that type of person. Those "computer nerd" stereotyping days are over.

On a final note, get a life.]]>May 5th 2007 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/May 5th 2007 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://h41131.www4.hp.com/ie/en/feature_stories/story5270.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_IEEN]]>May 6th 2007 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/May 6th 2007 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/hp-preparing-pavilion-hdx-20-inch-gaming-laptop/May 14th 2007 11:56AM
