PC Microworks intros Montevina-powered Edge uber-laptop

Heads up, spec hounds. PC Microworks' Edge with Centrino 2 (aka Montevina) is a powerhouse that cannot be denied. This speedster sports a 15.4-inch WUXGA screen, packs a Montevina Quad Core Centrino 2 CPU, 2gb of DDR3 at 1333MHz, nVIDIA Gefore 9800M GTX, HSPDA, and up to 4TB of 7200RPM drives. Don't go running to the credit card gods just yet, though, as the Core 2 Extreme Quad Core QX9300 (2.53GHz/1066MHz/12MB) version won't be available until the end of July. What's more, this baby all decked-out will run you a cool $8,265.

[Thanks, Matthew]

Will I notice a bigger difference with 4gb of DDR3 RAM vs. 2gb or 2.8ghz vs. 2.5 ghz CPU? I'm trying to figure out whether I should get the 4gb RAM over the 2.8ghz CPU speed.

Can someone tell me what they think of this company or this laptop when they get one! I am in the market, and am living just fifteen minutes away from this company now, so I want to know what an owner thinks of them.

For 8000 dollars I could buy the person in the picture.
