For those who won't even glance in the general direction of a gaming laptop unless it weighs in at 12+ pounds, you'll probably be unable to take your retinas off of Maingear's forthcoming beast. Word on the street has it that the aptly-titled eX-L will posses a potent 3.06GHz Core 2 Extreme X9100 CPU, which will predictably be overclocked by an undisclosed amount. Graphically, we're told to expect a couple of ATI GPUs or a single NVIDIA unit, while the 17-inch display, built-in speakers (with subwoofer) and 802.11n WiFi are pretty much par for the course. Pricing and availability details are still being withheld, but it sounds like this one won't be coming your way cheap.

The art is fug.
The flames make it go faster?
lol flames
No the flames are real.....

that's what she said
LOL @ Towncivilian
lol Towncivilian you ½|☼♦►╫♪Q☺5
LOL that just didn't seem like its getting old.
Do the people making these... gross laptops (of which there are about a million under a ton of different brands) really sell enough to offset the cost of producing them?
maingear smoke, don't breath this!
what ... vga out? seriously?
dvi or fail.
It has HDMI out.
I knew I saw an HDMI port back there.
This is basically the OCZ 17 inch DIY (which is really an Arima/Flextronics W840Di). This is the first picture of the back of it and good to see the HDMI ports and extra cooling vent compared to its predecessor, the Arima W830 (which the Alienware M9700 and M9750 are based off of)
sry, I meant bigger vents, not extra
Looks a little like the original XPS laptop. Blazing fast machine, but uglier than a Ford Edsel.
This looks badass.
As much as I like to badmouth these big ass laptops, having a folding, easier-to-hide computer comes in handy when you have friends that get crunked and walk on the furniture in your apartment.
hey wait a second. you didn't rag on this laptop for being bigger than a house or whine that it might be too tough to carry or make your lap uncomfortable or other such female complaints ... you actually went the other way and praised it for being every bit as powerful as a desktop but smaller... bravo.
take a note, fanboys. your computer doesn't have to resemble a big cracker to be completely enjoyable.
doesnt seam bad, like the flames.
but i dont expect it to be cheap.
These things need a new name to distinguish them from laptops and notebooks.
I nominate Desktop-with-a-built-in-folding-screen
Fold-desk
Folding@home?
Port-a-Puter maybe?
Any body who walked on my furniture wouldn't be my friend and i'm pretty sure would get their a$$ kicked.
