Ive seen better.  For about the same price on newegg, there is a laptop with a 4870x2

Ive also seen a laptop for around 4k euros with an i7 and 280m sli.  I wanted it so bad but I cant seem to find it now.  It was HUGE and the battery probably lasted around 20min

It's about $500.00 more, and the support with Asus is nowhere near what Toshiba has.

Only if you bump the Toshiba up to 8GB, at the stock 4GB it's $1850.00, the link you provided shows the Asus at $2350.00.  That does look like one sweet video card though.

With the heat my Qosmio generates I can't imagine what that one would be like.  I don't use a cooling pad, I bought my laptop an air conditioner.

Up to an i7 975 and a 280m.  Now All it needs is a second 280m...
