Exactly. And this is the first one. If this succeeds with the high end people (you know those that spend $4000 on a gaming pc), then the price will come down.

Some people use expensive hardware as a status symbol, and having something expensive with a flashy UI will probably appeal to them. I don't know how common this type of person is. Others spend a lot on hardware to eke out as much performance as possible. The Razer laptop will fail miserably with these people, because the specs obtained for the cost are abyssmal. ________________________________________________ Razer at $2800: 2.8GHz Intel® CoreTM i7 2640M Processor 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Memory NVIDIA GeForce® GT 555M (2GB VRAM) ________________________________________________ Sager/Clevo at around $2700 (using xoticpc). 3.2-3.46GHz Intel® Core™ i7-960 8MB L3 Cache ATI Radeon DUAL (2) HD6990M's (4GB VRAM) 12GB - DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory ________________________________________________ The GT 555M's 3DMark 06 score is 10586.3.

The Sager will be a bulkier laptop, but my experience (with dragging an Asus G73 to and from university and work) is that carrying bags/backpacks mitigate the weight issue, and that bulk is never a factor. An inferior gaming experience due to weaker hardware, however, is.
