People dont buy laptops because they're going to keep them plugged in all the time.
To be honest, laptops like this are too big to truly be portable, yet are still considered laptops and therefore more expensive for a desktop with the same specs.

Greater battery life is something that should always be strived for. The more people complain about battery life, the more companies will do to try to improve it, so i dont understand why you're getting upset at people criticizing a chunk of silicon and metal. Its not a member of your family, its a computer. ]]>Jul 24th 2009 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/
He said "People who buy laptops like this.." He's not referring to everyone who buys a laptop. He's saying that people who usually buy powerful laptops use them as desktop replacements, keep them plugged in all the time, and don't care about battery life]]>Jul 24th 2009 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/
People who buy laptops like this use them for lan parties, and have them sitting on their coputer desk when not at a lan party. The only reason these things have batteries is so that hen you blow a breaker, you can keep gaming for the 5-10 minutes for someone to flip it back.]]>Jul 24th 2009 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/
I bought my laptop specifically because I knew it would be plugged in all the time, such that size and battery life were a non-issue. At university and in the last year frequently alternating between two home locations it was easier to have a laptop portable to the extent that I didn't have to lug around a separate tower, monitor keyboard and speakers, as opposed to a single unit that could fit in a laptop bag.]]>Jul 24th 2009 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 1:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/]]>Jul 24th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/Jul 24th 2009 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/maingears-ex-l-18-grabs-for-worlds-most-powerful-gaming-lapto/

some people are just not smart on this.

On a side note, I wish people would stop saying the Alienware is a rebranded Clevo, because its not! Alienware is a rebrand of Quanta's rig based on a 17" chassis with 2HDD bays, while this Maingear eX-L 18 is just the same rebrand of the ClevoM980NU we have seen over and over based on a 18" chassis and 3HDD bays.

Please stop giving us the same info over and over and trying to pass it off as something new!
