Reviews for the Falcon Northwest Fragbook DRX
Source: PC Mag
If you're shopping for a Falcon Northwest gaming laptop, there's no middle ground: Either go for broke or leave the website. Consider the Fragbook DRX ($6,449 direct, starting prices around $4,000); the money you'll have spent by the time you trick it out could avert several foreclosures. This 12-pound tank is one of only a handful of boutique laptops that have enough cooling fans to run a 3.33-GHz, Intel Core i7 975 processor—the top-of-the-line desktop processor, no less. The Falcon Northwest Fragbook DRX gaming laptop is priced out of this earth, and its performance numbers—earth-shattering.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M: The GeForce GTX 280M is based on the G92b chip with the full range of 128 pipelines and therefore is similar to the Desktop 9800 GTX+ (but not similar to the GTX 280). Due to more pipelines and a higher clock, it is considerable faster than the 9800M GTX.
These cards are compareable to enthusiasm desktop graphics cards, like the 9800M GT. The cards have a similar core, as their desktop counterparts, but are clocked lower and often have less shader processors. Modern games like Age of Conan, Race Driver Grid, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, or Gothic 3 should run fluently with high details (Crysis should run in medium to high details).

17.0": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

5.5 kg: This laptop is heavy. Especially desktop replacements with 19 inch display fit in this class of weight. This class is too heavy, even for 17 inch DTR.
70%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
