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

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTX: As the 8800M GTX, the 9800M GTX is based on the G92 chip, but has more unified shaders. This provides enough performance for high details in demanding DirectX 10 games like Crysis, Bioshock, or Age of Conan. The integrated PureVideo HD engine can assist the cpu in decoding HD videos.
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).

Intel Core 2 Extreme: The fastest Core 2 Duo variants of Intel are called Core 2 Extreme. Technically, these processors are based on a Merom/Penryn (X9000) core like all other Core 2 Duo processors, too.
QX9300:

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.

3.8 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.
Rock: Rock is a British laptop manufacturer and focusses the UK market.
60%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.
