lol @ PC Gaming isn't dead tag

overpriced and pointless. Less powerful than a G74 at double the price. Sure it's lightweight but who cares. In terms of weight, compared to an Alienware sure, but a G74 isn't that bad. For $2800 I could build a Sager than would annihilate this to another dimention with dual gtx580m. 555m? I mean what’s this trying to compete with? A Macbook? Also, i'd say it's a poor time to invest heavy cash in a gaming laptop with Kepler coming out early 2012.

^^ performance doesn't seem to match the price.

I'd still buy a Lenovo or Asus gaming laptop over ANYTHING Razer. The only good Razer product I've seen is that little weighted mouse cable holder thing for $7 or so.

Their mousepad ain't half bad

But I had one of their mice and the scroll wheel fucked up after a year. I'd scroll down 5 notches and it would scroll up 2. Was CONSTANTLY fighting with it. Did some research and it was a very common issue.

a GT555M at 1080p... lols. I'd be willing to bet the laptop will have some thermal issues with those specs & dimensions
