It's just heavier than other laptops, is all.

When I originally did the review Oblivion wasn't out, obviously. This is going back to january... I personally play oblivion at 1600x1200 with a few settings turned down. I could probably overclock (my machine is a monster overclocker) and get the settings up a little higher, but i'd rather not risk damaging the gpu. My desktop machine is another story. I run oblivion in Linux with Cedega now so my settings are set a little lower than they were in windows.
As far as portability goes, it works as a great portable desktop. I bring this machine from home to work every day. The amazing thing is that this is pretty much the only machine I use, I do graphics work in it, web programming, play games on it, multimedia, etc. I don't have to make any sacrifices.
Thing is I rarely run it on battery and never use it in the car, it's just too big. That's the only area it's not very portable. I may get another more portable machine for more portable uses.
