Dell's World of Warcraft Laptop

riddlermarc · 5 Dec 2007 at 21:06

I don't think this has been posted already:

"Dell has released a high specification new laptop complete with World of Warcraft branding (Horde and Alliance versions available). With a starting price of $4,499 it's not cheap, but does feature SLI graphics and AGEIA PhysX technology (a laptop first). RAID and solid state storage are also options."

Two or three years too late though, I think the WoW bubble is near to bursting :/

$4.5k. They must be off their rockers.

EDIT: Customisable up to $9.5K :eek:

$9.5K on a laptop, anyone who pays that needs a double labotomy and three rolls of rubber wallpaper for christmas.

If they brought out a Starwars one, some muppet might buy it at that price....

Why would Dell make 20' SLI laptops if nobody bought them?

Nah, that's a bit unfair on mugs, mugs are clever, they hold liquids for consumption.

Whoever buys one of those is moronic

A 20" laptop is completley different, it servers a purpose an over priced branded one is completley pointless.

Ok, but they're almost as stupid, given that they're heavy and the battery lasts about 20 minutes...

Almost as stupid?

My point was about the Laptop itself which is the price because of the paint job. A 20" laptop isn't going to be a 12" laptop.

My bad, I didn't read the full spec. Although I'm not sure the average WoW player would need to be that mobile...

This is just as ridiculous as PlayNC selling a 2GB iPod Nano for £350 just because it comes with a Guild Wars cover. :eek:

Near enough $5k to play a GUI chat room full of kids. No ta.

Horde [Included in Price]

Bloody too right it should be included in the price!

Antar Bolaeisk · 5 Dec 2007 at 23:13

Depends, do you get a years free subscription?

Worthy · 5 Dec 2007 at 23:21

Call me mad - but I'd probably buy one of those as I'm looking for a nice gaming laptop at the min, and the aesthetics of it are lovely.

*edit* Just seen the price... sod that.

Frapple · 5 Dec 2007 at 23:36

but does feature SLI graphics and AGEIA PhysX technology

AGEIA PhysX technology

Who would buy such a thing? WoW doesn't even need that kind of power.
