    Well, the price is going to be something that nearly nobody can afford.

    The VX2 wasnt insane, just over priced. Not sure the X5 will go out of the range of some geek driving a civic making 40 an hour doing pc repairs lol.

    Obviously an actual lamborghini owner is more likley to afford it then the rest of us :p

    Well considering in 2 years the 260 will be playing games in medium at only 30 fps i dont see how res fits into it unless your replacing the laptop ever year or getting a 280. The res is low for something their throwing this kinda detail into, name on, and price on.
