Reviews for the Rock Xtreme 780
Source: vnunet.com
More and more households are now using laptop PCs rather than desktops as the main computer in the house and so there's a need for laptops that are as powerful as their desktop cousins, or more so, especially those designed for games players. The Rock Xtreme 780 Q9000 is a games players' computer, but although it's technically portable its size and bulk mean that it's unlikely ever to leave the house once it arrives. A superb games computer, but fan noise was very annoying and it costs a fair whack

NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTX:
Similar to the 8800M GTX, the 9800M GTX is based on the G92 chip but includes more unified shaders. The 9800M GTX was later succeeded by the 55nm GTX 260M.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

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.
