Seriously. And some vapor-phase refrigeration. That way, half your lap gets burned, and the other half would be frozen. That would rock, except for your rocks...

Yep, that is the max going rate (after bi-weekly coupon deal) for a new gaming laptop that rocks, AND runs dead cold while barely sucking battery power (Pentium M Centrino). Doesn't make sense in getting an old tech P4 CPU that runs slower, hotter, weighs more (due to extra cooling needs) and uses more juice.

I paid $1200 for my Sony VGN-S360p. It's only got a 9700 mobility, but it's good enough to play most games and it only weighs 4.1lbs...not to mention 4.5 hours of battery life.

Looks like a soon to be user addon/upgrade option on Dell i9300/XPS2's.

I paid $1499 for a Dell XPS Gen2 from AAFES (only authorized users only). This is what I got:

Pentium M 2.0ghz
6800 Go Ultra 256mb
1 gig PC4200 DDR2
DVD Burner

I originally ordered one last week for $30 more without free DVD Burner, but cancelled that order because this one had more for less money! 7800 Go GTX was an option for $350, but I don't really need it for that $$$. I could always upgrade down the road with the MXM module.

Also consider the Gateway MX7515: Athlon 64 4000+ (2.8GHz), 1GB RAM, DVDRW, 15.4" WXGA, 128MB X600 (Hypermemory, 64MB shared), $1400 MSRP usually $1250 on sale

I would not touch an HP right now. My wife bought a ZE2000 series in July and less then 2 months later it starts to crap out. After an on-line session and 3 phone calls over 3 weeks the phone tech from India says "Oh my God!" When a tech says that u know you are in trouble. The piec of )&*^$%& is at HP being repaired as we speak.

PLEASE DO NOT try to get me to buy an HP right now!
