My macbook pro doesn't have this 'frying eggs' feature. =C]]>Jun 23rd 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/Jun 23rd 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/The point of powerful laptops like these is that it is more portable than a desktop. Yes, it won't last very long on battery, but your desktop won't either unless you go with a UPS. Besides, most places you would take this to you'll be able to find a free outlet.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/
May I ask you a question?

Quote: "Midrange laptops (13 - 15 inch) & MacBooks/Pros"

Aren't Macbooks midrange laptops?
Why the hell you separate them?
They're still notebooks.
They're not special or a different form-factor.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/Jun 23rd 2010 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/
I would never buy a laptop that is over an inch thick that doesn't have the build quality of a Lenovo or Apple. Hence why I spent $2500 on my MBP 2.4Ghz C2D back in day. People will buy what interests them. Some will want a 2-3" gaming laptop, some a desktop, some something quite portable all day.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/Eggs.

There are obvious sacrifices to owning this laptop, but that's because when you buy this, you're looking for a specific target, as opposed to another. I don't even know why you guys are comparing the 2 laptops in the first place, since their targets are totally different.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/Less Windows?

Who cares? This isn't about the Mac.

Anyway, you already got your numbers mixed up with Droid / 3GS sales, so probably wouldn't take your word for it anyway.

When will you editors at Engadget realize this? Nearly every gaming notebook on the market from Sager, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Maingear, CyberPowerPC (ugh), etc are all ODM notebooks from Clevo or Compal?

Jesus christ!]]>Jun 23rd 2010 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/
Yeah it bugs the crap out of me too that they keep publishing stories on the same damn computer, just different companies. Nothing about it is new, it's just a laptop that over 5 other people have put their name on because they bought it from Clevo.

I wonder if they know that Mac's are made by someone else too...]]>Jun 23rd 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/Jun 23rd 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/

I’m not exactly sure where your misinformation comes from, but, technically speaking, HP did not "scrap" VooDoo PC. You would know this if you had the foresight to go to their site prior to making such an asinine comment. If you had, you would have found that, while they no longer sell any desktops directly to the public, they do continue to manufacture two computers, one being the Envy 133 laptop, and the other being the HP Firebird. They have produced a few different versions of the Firebird, all of which came from their first desktop, the Blackbird 002, also sold under the HP nameplate. None of these computers were, again, technically speaking, HP products, for HP had no direct hand in designing them. They were all designed by VooDoo PC, for their parent company, HP.

VooDoo NO LONGER EXISITS, plain and simple. Those overpriced POS computers you are referring to, are made by HP, VooDoo has nothing to do with it. So don't sit here and imply that I'm an idiot, when you have no clue what you are talking about. So, in the future if you see me post something that just burns you up, please do not reply.

Thank you.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/maingear-debuts-ex-l-17-gaming-laptop/
First off, I never said, nor implied, you were an idiot (although now I question that), for all I said was that you made an asinine comment, which, quite obviously, you don’t seem to know the difference between the two words. As for the current status of VooDoo PC, obviously, YOU are the one who doesn’t know what he is talking about.

In regards to your referencing the computers made by VooDoo under the HP nameplate, maybe you should go back and read some of the reviews. If you did, then you would find that, with the exception of price (yes, I’ll admit they were overpriced, as are almost all boutique gaming computers), the Blackbird 002 received very good to excellent ratings, including a PERFECT 5 out of 5 from PC Mag, and 7 out of 10 from Maximum PC, both of which are highly regarded.

According to HP, based on their very own statements, and I directly quote, “HP now maintain Voodoo as a high-end brand within the parent company.” They also state that, at least as of last November, the only VooDoo models (whether sold under the HP name, or VooDoo name) are the Firebird & Envy 133, although it is unknown whether, or not, there will be any further models created by VooDoo. On a closing note, it drastically appears as if you have anger issues, and should seek out anger management classes. As for me, nothing I have said, nor in any way have I said anything, that would have led any normal person to come up with such a hypothesis.

Now, if you’ll excuse those of us who have better things to do with our time than waste it on someone who wants nothing more to do than rant, I’ll bid the adu.
