As mentioned in the following thread, custom build laptops are quite expensive compared to an equivalent pre-built model. http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=38471.0
Screw what I said, it's not really a custom build. All he's doing is selecting the most expensive option for each component on the Customize page for a laptop.
You do realize that laptop is going to eat electricity and piss heat? You're going to have a battery life of around 20 minutes... And why would you want a built-in fax modem?
hahaha, it forgot how to cool the darn thing.... unless you'll be using it somewhere ice-cold....then its not worth the effort... and what battery will power it? a trucks battery or nuclear one?
why not just make that into a desktop pc? how much is that costing aswell? some unrealistic laptop there...
portability. if you can use your desktop anywhere, there wont be anymore need for laptops/notebooks/netbooks/ipad.
I promised myself that I wouldn't get another intel machine. but that is a hell of a computer. but power consumption won't be as bad as the desktop equivalent... or maybe OP could get a kick-peddle charger... for those times that he has nothing to do but to charge his laptop for a few hours for a few minutes of run time. Suggestion... invest in a very big battery. and reduce the number of internal hard drives. having two hard drives is nice and all for "Oh no" moments. but in a laptop you use externals for that. and drop the BD ROM unless you want to deal with Sony's DRM on your computer... or if you have a burning desire to have all the Blu ray "experience" for me I never saw a point in Bluray when I am not watching a movie for the "extras" I just want the movie and nothing more.
HOLY CRAP!!! The price must be $10000!!!!! OMG, that is a powerful laptop. But I think that it will burn you once you turn it on!
