It's the multi-touch trackpad that throws me. Windows doesn't support touch input right now, and the stuff I've seen for Windows 7 indicates that they're going after touch-based displays, not trackpads.]]>Jan 2nd 2009 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/voodoo-firefly-gaming-laptop-prototype-gets-hands-on-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/voodoo-firefly-gaming-laptop-prototype-gets-hands-on-treatment/
I'm not a huge fan of the two screens concept, but it's not a bad use of space if it's there. I'm keen on this laptop though!

There is a rule, people. The less display there is on that upper part, the worse looking the laptop gets.

With as much space available as most 17+ inch laptops/DRS's there has been enough room for one over there for a while.
I don't care much for the glossy look. But really, if you bought this, you will probably have an external keyboard/mouse anyway that you'll use most of the time, keeping smudges to a minimum.
Looks as though they have plenty of breathing space for the fans/cooling. The intakes on the top are a great idea, since a lot of times users of a laptop/DRS will have it on their laps, bed, couch, other soft surfaces that aren't always flat. I saw this first on my XPSM1710, albeit, much, much smaller intakes. However, you can hear/feel (when you have this badboy on your lap) that they are working when the ones on the bottom are covered.
The multitouch on the trackpad is a great idea, but again, most users will have an external mouse. But just pretending Im running around with my hands placed where the trackpad is going to be, with my other hand where the wasd keys will be, feels nice.
