Who would shell out that much cash for a gaming laptop at all? For that much you could get an exceptionally ridiculous amount of gaming desktop. Have you ever tried loading levels off a raid 1+0 of 15krpm SAS drives on a really high end controller? You could get that kind of hardware, plus all the crazy video cards and a quad core for the price of this laptop.

Or you could pay probably 1/4 the amount of the laptop to get a desktop with similar specs.

Portables and games just don't go together. Doesn't make any sense.
