Pros: Unrivaled Looks, Build Quality, Performance

Cons: Cost

I have owned dozens of laptops in a variety of brands, and had many different laptops provided for my use at work. Without question, this is the finest I have owned. The Alienware M17x R2 is a close second.

The anodized aluminum chassis is built like a brick house. There is no other high performance laptop that runs as well. It overclocks like a dream and it can be upgraded about as easily as a desktop computer.

My current build specs are:
  • Intel Core i7 2920XM @ 4.9GHz
  • NVIDIA GTX 680M SLI
  • Kingston HyperX PnP 16GB (4x4) DDR3-1866
  • OCZ Agility 3 SSD RAID0 480GB (2x240GB)
  • Seagate Momentus 750GB HDD
  • Panasonic BluRay Burner
  • Intel Ultimate-N 6300 3x3 MIMO Wireless
  • 1920x1080 FHD LED Display
  • Windows 8 Pro x64

Previous Core Components:
  • Intel Core i7 2760QM Processor
  • AMD Radeon HD 6970M CrossFire
  • AMD Radeon HD 6990M CrossFire
  • NVIDIA GTX 580M SLI
  • AMD Radeon HD 7970M CrossFire

For anyone that wants a non-compromising high-performance laptop, this is the beast you need.
