The FragBook
Petaris writes "For all of you hard core gamers out there a new choice is availiable for gaming notebooks. Introducing the Falcon Northwest FragBook. This notebook will be in direct competition with gaming notebooks from several competetors including Alienware and VooDoo. Falcon-nw, VooDoo, and more recently Alienware are the place to look for insanely high end and usually fairly expensive gaming systems. The gaming notebook, a more recent arrival in the industry, promises more recent processors than are commonly available for notebooks. Just make sure you stock up on batteries or settle in next to an outlet. :)"
A 17" PowerBook for unixy needs (i.e. Mac OS X and Linux). That 1.5ghz is roughly equivalent to a P4 running at 2.5 ghz. I can dual-boot Mac OS X and Yellow-Dog Linux (which is kind of like RedHat/Mandrake, with excellent hardware support for my existing Powerbook 15" 667). That alongside with IBM's Thinkpad 3.0ghz, for only $1400 (yes, I prefer to use several machines simultaneously - or rather, while the other one is compiling, I'm a programmer). Now that's some SERIOUS horsepower for very cheap!

1. Being that old school means Windows is just for playing games that aren't available on a real OS, so I really don't bother to research windows much. Hence I don't know these things for sure.
2. I KNOW there are a lot of people on Slashdot who know a lot about Windows. Including a few guys logging in from Seattle.

The fact that you're posting on /. at all shows you're in the top 1% yourself. Why not sell your own computer and donate the proceeds to charity?
