I also have never seen specs like this in a laptop.20.1" screen in a laptop wouldn't be quite comfortable coz nobody has got laps that big. But offcourse you can use it as a desktop replacement.I've heard that Dragon scores 12500+ in 3D Marks 2006.that defines how powerful this beast is.I would love to be an owner of this piece of art.

Cool

I would possibly strip naked and run around the neighborhood if I won this.. LOL Joking but that is one niiiiiccceeee machine


I don't call it a laptop or a notebook, I call it a portadesktop as in, portable desktop, because really that is what it is, yes it folds open but it's big and VERY powerful.

Default multiple laptops

I have always been a big fan of having two laptops a big one for home and office and a small one for the airplane.

Tha mac book air is really ***y, I currently have an older but cool looking tablet pc called a TC1000, this is great for trips - email - and watching movies on the plane that I have saved to the HD (No DVD rom). It has just enough power to watch a movie. I also have or had (it just crapped out) a 17" Toshiba Laptop. This was perfect for me Because I usually move my lappy from work to the office about 1 or 2 times a week. Movies look great on the big screen as well. But I would do a DANCE for that new DRAGON 20" wow this thing is AWESOME - I could use this for post production and graphic design - my little tablet just can't handle these things.

but the thing with the macbook air is that its not really that up to standards. Its more like on the go web surfing, it doesnt have a disk drive and the battery life gets low fast. But if all you want to do is web surf, ya the macbook air is perfect

It's not so much underpowered as its missing requirements for basic peripherals. If they improve on that with the same amount of power, it wouldn't be a bad system - price wise however, it wouldn't be that good.

It IS amazing! I saw alienware also offer notebooks with 8800M GTX, which is still a little bit better.
But the dragon has style, the design is awesome, something you can't say of the alienware notebooks. However this is personal...
