Very interesting.
"Would you like to get your hands on one?" Hehe sure would, price isn't to my liking though

Weight: 10kg. Free carrying bag with wheels included.
It ís a desktop replacement though
Nope... comes with integrated forklift(s) and Thorium reactor... and a secondary Thorium reactor for that G200...
I think Eurocom missed the point of what a lappie is for.

Wouldn't say that. There are laptops out with the Q9550 in there, and they run fast and produce quite a bit of heat but no complaints as far as I've seen.
Yes, the battery life is shorter but if you want a gaming laptop; well what more could you ask for?

Gah! I knew about that mistake and still forgot to fix it x_X
OK, we had our fun. Now, on the up side, it is something unique, with tremendous power, and a lot more compact then any desktop, not so many wires, not so much clutter.
So it has it's place in the world. I wouldn't mind having one. I would consider buying one if I wouldn't have a 17" DTR laptop already that's still holding on. Mine doesn't have that much power but it serves it's purpose.
So it's an interesting machine, one of a kind. It has it's flaws but the good parts make it very juicy & tasty.
If we had pics and benches maybe we wouldn't have such a hard time accepting it.

Dimensions of the laptop probably aren't that good for a lappie, it still has to house a desktop cpu as intel hasn't developed a mobile i7 yet. This means the full 130 (!) watt of heat from the i7 920 has to be removed, which results in a lot of noise, weight and size. Or downclocking / overheating, both resulting in moderate performance.
If you have the money for such a laptop ($5000+) you could just as well buy yourself a nice mATX based i7 rig and a P9x00 based laptop. The mATX i7 will not take much space and could be hidden within furniture while the P9x00 is much more convenient as a laptop.
EDIT: also, when you have such raw processing power you might also want a good working location. So if you want to make real use of it as a professional you would at least need a full desk and 1 external screen or more resulting in setup time and clutter.

Yes, you would need a pretty big laptop style heatsink to keep that (not mobile) CPU at a respectable temp. So I would imagine that overclocking is not an option, the laptop must be pretty big with the hard drives, tv tuner etc etc and the mobile graphics card and its cooling..
Will it be a winner
