NYT: The New Breed of Gaming Laptops Get Serious

securitas writes "The New York Times' Seth Schiesel writes about hardcore gamers and the growing trend toward high-performance gaming laptops. Traditional enterprise computer manufacturers like Dell and HP are entering the gaming markets dominated by VoodooPC and Alienware, with the specialty high-end PC makers going the other way and breaking into corporate markets. There are some accompanying graphics and quotes from hardcore gamers about the Alienware Area 51m, Dell Inspiron XPS, and VoodooPC Envy m:750."

Something is seriously wrong here.

How long has the NYT been putting periods in the acronym "C.P.U.", and if it's not standard practice then how did it ever get past the eds?

Re:Pentium IV in a laptop. What a brilliant idea.

Heh... Something like that...
Let me just take this oppurtunity to say "in Soviet Russia, laptops charges you" before anyone else does(?)...

A dual Xeon laptop wouldn't be that bad though ;).

If you really want performance you can now make your room a bit less geeky with a neat laptop rather than your regular 19" CRT taking up much space. Also, monitors of that size tend to look a bit less attractive than a brand new laptop.

You can of course keep your floor filled with TP Cat. 5 cables or whatever gets you off ;P
