    Just wondering if it is capable of producing better graphics? Im not sure what the Xbox360 has but I do know its a monster when it comes to gaming. I believe it has 2 video cards... Anyone know for sure?

    What I know is, the 360 has one graphic chip only. I don't know how powerful it is exactly, but I know the PS3 is more powerful (well, it was released after) and the PS3's graphic chip is based on the 7800 GT. On the other side, the m15x has the 8800m GTX which is obviously more powerful. Somebody correct me if I am wrong :p

    I dont know, does anyone here even have proof?

    I know for a fact the Xbox 360s processor kills the M15x I mean thats a given because its built only for gaming and the M15x is a computer...

    The processor is a PowerPC tri-core.

    Either way, the m15x is leaps and bounds more advanced than the Xbox 360. Think about it: the 360 was released in 2005, the era of the Geforce 6's and 7's.

    The m15x should be rocking it for free. There's a tri-core in the 360? Do you have a source?

    People should stop comparing computers to Consoles.

    Consoles run games better, but Computer has more advanced hardware and better Graphics.

    the 8800GTX totally destroys the X360's GPU,
    the X360's CPU might be tri-core, but we should remember that its not about the count of the cores, or the raw speed, the CPU Core Architecture says it all, like go and compare an E6600@3ghz VS E8400 3ghz, you'll see that the E8400 is better by 45% over the E6600 (not talking about games, i'm not sure about the difference, but talking about Enconding and such) and the E6600 is only 1 Generation behind! so imagine how is it going to be for the X360...

    ^Agreed, 100%. You're comparing apples and oranges.
