I did some hunting on this new card, with Dells new M1710 in the USA starting at $2,600 and topping out at $4,800 fully loaded the question to ask is... can this possibly be worth it? It is funny for the price difference you can get a HP DV8000t with a lower graphics card for 1/2 the cost.... your paying a $2000 premium for a graphics card... and the HP setup is better suited for a gaming layout with the full num pad. I think Dell has gone too far with this offering making extreme graphics not so welcome in the notebook world. I mean thats more cash than it cost for a quad SLI setup...
