    I've never seen a laptop that big... I'm planning on getting a laptop for school (engineering degree) but I don't want to haul some huge laptop around, you know? Then again I do want to play a bit and be comortable.

    Its huge. You would look like an idiot when taking out a 18.4" laptop from your bag in a class. Im guessing the battery isnt that great either.

    The 9850 is not a lappy for school use. Not by a long shot unless you are not going to be taking it to classes and just keeping it in your room. You might be able to get by with a 17" 5797, but a 15.4" is the ideal compromise between portability, graphic power and battery life. At least that is my opinion.

    Seriously, the M980NU makes the original Xbox look small.
