Last year I bought a laptop with i7 processor and 330m graphics for about 3k, but was dissapointed with the gaming performance. I guess the SSD will make it incredibly fast for loading, but I suggest choosing another graphics card if you want to run sc2 at high or ultra.

With a 13" screen I don't think it's suitable for gaming. This ultra-portable laptop is for work, man.


My 13" laptop is quite suitable for gaming.

330 is really a disappointment for the price. If it had like 2 ati m5870's or somthing that would be awesome! but other than that your are just paying for the SSD's, just get a laptop with ssd+HDD

1/2 the money with 2x graphics cards option. http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7280s1-built-clevo-x7200-p-2935.html

Not to mention it might actually be cheaper with 17 inch since the the components wouldnt need to be so tight. the 12 hour batery life is often measured idle. If you start running powerfull programs it'll drop rapetly

Average Boot Time : 60 sec

WTF? I have a desktop with a single Intel SSD (and not 2 faster ones in RAID) and my boot time is under 20 seconds.

I think you'd either have to have a screw loose or a lot of money to waste to buy that thing. It's cool... but I seriously can't understand buying it over a good desktop that's better and costs less.

I actually have and use that laptop (well an older model). It's very light (because it has carbon fibre on the lid and magnesium on the inside) and performance is okay (the equivalent of a £600 laptop. This was built for doing long hours of work; with or without a power source (excellent battery). Gaming wise it is average and should not be brought for gaming at all. Stick to something with a bigger screen and more power (processor and graphical).


However would I recommend anyone buy this laptop? Nope. Not unless you have the money to throw at it (especially with the rise of netbooks, this laptop is not value for money).

steven jobs would like it. Cost-wise, not hardware.

Joke beside, it is THE overkill for daily use. It is only viable option when you make more then that in a month.

I'll rather get a fully customised Alienware for that price.

You can get dual 480GTX's, i7 940M etc..

Laptops arent made for gaming. You will always get a better desktop computer for a smaller price.

That thing is missing two cores... 12GB+ 1866-2400 ( 6-6-6-18-1T ) 4+TB + some SSDs + 17+ screen+

It's like 1700+ for parts and +Name = 4700...

that thing's specs are merely 8GB 1066 and timings aren't even listed... prob like 9-9-9-24-2T...

330M... wtf...
they should give you like 2x480M or 2x5870M variants...

should be 4cores x1 socket from 2cores x1 socket for that price...

asus has things equal/better than what they sell you for the same price...

1k$ for a hex core, 800$ for 512 SSD, 200$ for 1000 watt power supply, 300$ for a 24" wide screen LCD monitor, 250$ for radeon HD 6870, 100$ for 2x 4GB ram, 150$ for 1 tb sata.

2800$ for sex on your desk.

Everything in there is expensive
Windows ultimate
a 13 inch 1920x1080 screen super expensive
2x 256 ssd's very expensive
Intel® Core™ i7 - 640M expensive

You're paying for portability over power. sure you can get better performance for that price, but can you lug it around like it's nothing. 13" and 3 lbs.

The screen and the ssd's alone would retail like 2k, considering i've been around business that are willing to spend 2k just on a monitor i suppose this would fit into the high end business man who needs power but more importantly the ability to lug it around everywhere.

lol, I can tell you from personal experience that no Vaio (or Sony product at all, for that matter, besides the PS3) is worth paying any amount of money for. Everything made by Sony is poor quality and breaks easily, and you need to pay enormous fees to get it fixed even if it's under warranty. Can't even imagine paying $4.7k for one.

These $5k Toughbooks are pretty cool though. Supposedly they can withstand drops from 100 feet, and survive a full cycle through a residential dishwasher.

I find it crazy that it has a 60 second boot time when its using SSD. Any for people talking about "having to fit" 2 SSD in a laptop, have you ever seen the size of one? It's pretty small.

That is not worth it at all.
Get a $500 laptop, a $1500 desktop and then do the same thing in another 2-3 years if you want.

60 seconds boot time sounds pretty slow for a SSD to me

BIOS i bet if you turned of little things you could cut that to nearly half. SSD only makes it faster when it goes to load the os. I'm guessing all the little things like bluetooth ad's to the time to boot.

Do you use an external monitor as well? Just wondering
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
