Doesnt sound all that practical to me... a laptop format for a desk use only, where you need an external battery, and where the thing weights 7 pounds? Heck the web site says that…

Place your bids now!! You just know that this is going to be a popular one!

I would much rather remove my Ti battery and make it about 3 lbs.

anyone (apart from a collector or someone with way too much money) who buys this hunk of crap is a complete idiot.

They don't specify the weight or battery life. I wonder why... But the do say this: "Sticking with Alienware� tradition, each unit is packed full of fans and exhaust units to ensu…
