    They're pretty famous for ramming i7 into notebook fashion long before the mobile chips were available.

    At the end of the day, as people have said before, this is a mobile server or similar - a phenomenally powerful desktop with a built in screen, built in UPS that's easy to transport. So there is a lot of merit in cramming in a large amount of storage.

    As LAN machines go, one of these would be pretty awesome!

    The laptop takes 3 drives as standard the fourth is fitted via a caddy in the DVD bay, hence you lose the DVD or Blu-Ray drive.

    Personally I'd rather buy one from Kobalt Computers a UK based company that uses clevo laptops to build their own, this is called the G890 on their website, its soon to also have dual 5870s or 1 GTX480 2GB.

    Eurocom are somewhat unreliable to say the least from reading other peoples reviews.

    The selling point for me is the 18" display considering I have got a 20" laptop lol.

    Hmm someone needs to tell the person being interviewed @ Kobalt (video at bottom of this page: http://www.kobaltcomputers.co.uk/g890_overview.php) that RAID0 does not add data integrity, just speed
