I think that you shouldn't put anything liquid into a laptop haha. I think that gaming laptops can be heavier most of the time gamers play on tables not on there lap so the weight only matters when ur moving the laptop or listening to music or surfing the web

I think that a gaming netbook should be allowed to be a bit heavier because for most games you won't want to put the netbook in your lap because you are so into it. If they were a little heavier, you could add liquid cooling to them or maybe a secondary fan.

Every gamer wants raw power in their gaming laptop but I don't think that it is possible in a laptop. Gaming components require a lot of power and produce a lot of heat. A laptop can definitely be a great for gamers that play MMORPGs but for more serious gamers, a laptop is a usually a temporary. A laptop usually can't handle next gen games.

Somebody needs to ask the industry why cooling fan engineering hasn't improved to produce the same air movement for less power.

Let's say you have 1 fan that moves 20cfm at 0.5W. Another engineer comes along and says 'I have a fan that moves 18cfm at .25W'. Now I can put 2 of those fans into a 'gamer' class notebook to help keep components cool that I normally wouldn't be able to do with the previously engineered fan.

Hi this is Moshe
Pleas look at my post.
Comments will be appreciated.

I'm not your average traveling businessman, so for me, I'd like two extremes for my mobile needs. A netbook for the light stuff, like sitting on the couch browsing the internet while watching TV, and a monstrosity, weight be damned, if I want to do some serious work or gaming somewhere other than my desk. If I have work to do and it's a nice day outside, I'd rather go sit on my deck and program away, but to do that, I need a hell of a lot more power and screen real estate than an average laptop offers.

Sure, some people would rather have a happy medium, and those are probably the people who need to travel with a laptop and do work in a hotel. Not me, so I'd be happy with a 12 pounder and half an hour of battery life, so long as it was pretty quick with a giant display and didn't cost three grand. Essentially, a mobile desktop more than a desktop replacement, though I suppose if beefy enough, it could work as both.

All i can say is that more power = more heat. so vote for me.

Sorry to double post but check out the ASUS's C90. I love that laptop design, especially the cooling design. 4 fans =

Water cooling can be integrated into the base of the laptop and the back of the monitor, like plates that the water runs through and back to the CPU. It can be done, in my opinion. The only other solution for cooling is faster, more powerful fans and more efficient heat sinks. Or cooler GPU/CPUs by using more space for less heat? Just my two cents.

The big talk these days are SSD Hard drives. It would be really cool to put 3 or 4 SSDs in a RAID 5 configuration on a 17" wide screen laptop. Now were talking performance.

To add even more performance, what about an out ot the box solution. Start out with a 17" laptop that has a 2-3" base or something the size of a brief case. This would allow for more room for batteries, a RAID 5 configuration, bigger power supply, and desktop components so your CPU can run at 1066 or 1366Mhz FSB, instead of the lame laptop 800Mhz standard. Also you could use all desktop components including heat sink and fans. And for the icing on the cake..... integrate the dc adapter into the case, use a regular desktop AC cord to plug into the case. Life would be Cool!
