    lol... No he doesnt, if he's already leaning on returning it the vids will be the end of him. Only worry I have for Galaxy is that when he becomes CEO of BIC he remembers to order all his corporate jets to come standard WITH plugins for his future AW's ;P

    Haha, right. Well it is not so much the battery life anymore. Size and operating system matters a lot. I think Alienware should make an operating system.

    Clauss, I've seen all your videos probably 50 times over. I find it a bit creepy that you look like my cousin...and you live in the same state as me... but I enjoyed your videos.

    Clauss, if you haven't played Modern Warfare you are missing one of the best (if not arguably THE best) FPS of all time.

    This is not your typical WWII shooter. Seriously PLAY IT!

    Seriously, you need to play it. I'll even send you my copy. I feel bad for you if you haven't. lol

    I didnt, for some reason when people arent gamers play the games. They look worse to me. Ok i lied, i went to a few friends houses who had it, they play it all the time and are like, I'm going to school you so hard. I just faceroll through them all. It felt just like the rest of them. At least i dont think it was modern warfare....actually it was like WW2 but it was a recent one.


    Oh world at war, i think thats the one i played at my friends houses. Eh i dunno. CSS is my game. Wish it had better graphics.

    If you plan to play games, WELL, the m17x. For simple whatever stuff, and watching youtube. Go for the mac. I hate macs. But they are nice for simple stuff. If you play games, you know your answer.

    I doubt that very much, but yeah, if you want to game the M17x is your rig, a Mac wont compete in that area.

    Well the new 3.06 ghz processor on the Macbook Pro really does make it possible to run Crysis on High. I'm going to make my decision by tomorrow when it comes.

    Honestly, if it has a mobile card like a 9600M GT the processor is really not going to improve Crysis enough to run on high settings, Crysis is very GPU bound. you might get decent frames on medium though, but then again, games these days with the exception, of a few MMO's and GTA IV are majorly GPU bound.

    I would like to see the mac run crysis on HIGH. That would real surprise and change my mind alot. Playable, on high. That would be a mindblowing demonstration. T9600 overclocks over the highest mac processor so hard...makes me happy.

    Well, it has integrated and discrete graphics cards. It may not be SLI but it holds its own. Anyways, FedEx has listed my M17x as In Transit to Buyer.

    Trust me, I think you will love your M17x, and if you don't play games that much then those dual 260M's will keep you permanently satisfied for as long as you will own your M17x.

    Just one GTX 260M rapes a 9600M GT with more than triple the amount of stream processors and double the memory bus, and with two in there, oh boy, you will run Crysis and games that aren't even out yet with visuals that would make a Macboy cry.

    So you are telling me that mac can run crysis on high settings @ WUXGA? And it's not a slide show? Maybe 12 fps?

    Sorry, not to be rude but I'd have to see it with my own eyes to believe that...
