kristopher Day Sleeper Registered: 11/01/03 Posts: 15933 Loc: Alternating Veracities	It's all about what I want to do with the machine. I want to play games on it and the MacBook Pro is more about having a very fast computer while having lots of battery time and more portability. I looked into it and they only had a C2D, a 9600M GT, and 1440x900 screen. Mine will be i7, 280M GTX, and 1920x1080. When configured, the MacBook Pro with the 3.06 GHZ C2D, and 500GB 7200RPM will end up costing about $600 more than mine, with way less graphics ability, less processor speed and less resolution. All of this to give the MacBook Pro way more battery time and better portability. I never use a laptop more than a hour or two away from an outlet, so battery time and portability isn't such a priority. If that were not the case then the MacBook Pro would be better choice for me and I'd get it. As it is, the Sager NP8690 is right for me.

kristopher Day Sleeper Registered: 11/01/03 Posts: 15933 Loc: Alternating Veracities	Will get it Tuesday, 11/24. I have quite a few games ready to install as well software. All of the stuff I installed on the old laptop I'm using now is still backed up on the NAS drive. I've upgraded my router to a Gigabit/Wireless N last week. Bought an ESATA enclosure for my current laptop drive so I can hook that directly up to the new laptop. Plan on putting the 120GB drive back in my old laptop and give the laptop away. I have a DVI connector for my external monitor. Also some better thermal paste for the laptop CPU/GPU to decrease the temps even more later on as needed. So everything is set. I should have the laptop up and running by Tuesday night before work. I'll give my current laptop away the same day. Wednesday I'll install more games and do some benchmarks. Thursday I'll have off to enjoy thanksgiving and the new laptop. Only thing left to do is to give the laptop a name. I'm thinking of naming it Trickster.
