Mobile Gaming At Desktop Speeds

DigitalBiscuit writes: "Today's leading edge laptop PCs are packing serious power under their thin little hoods, enough that even the hard core gamer may sit up and take note. Here's a full showcase (dismantled to show you the innards) with benchmarks on a Dell unit that employs NVIDIA's new GeForce4 440 Go GPU and a Pentium 4M (mobile) processor at 1.6GHz. Take one of these babies to the local LAN meet and be the envy of your Mountain Dew chugging cohorts." Of course, this will cost a lot more than similarly powerful desktop, but some people don't seem to mind that tradeoff.

What sucks about the laptop...

At a LAN party you only get to brag until the next bunch of laptops with the GeForce 5XX comes out. However if your luggin' around your desktop, and a new video card comes out you don't have to change your whole system to replace the video card.

That is if you are that kind of gamer that needs to show off the most FPS on his computer. Or the kind of gamer who possibly owned the GeForce 2, 3, and 4 all in the same year. But of course there's no one here like that.
