The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

Looks good. What do you need 16gb of RAM for?

@Axon-Yes that particular card does support 3D

Quite often I'll be doing research on more than one thing at a time and I'll have 30+ firefox tabs up, when I do this firefox consumes 2+ gigs of ram.  I quite often also have a VM up doing some processor intensive stuff and thought it would be nice to have a second VM for testing purposes (tools, exploits, etc...).  I've never run more than one VM at a time though, I usually allocate 1gig of RAM for my VM's.  My current laptop has only 3 gig which is ok but having more would be sweet!

Plus it would sweet telling people my laptop has 16gigs or RAM!!!!!

Or you could build a desktop for the same price as this laptop and have it wreck anything and everything.

I'm more of laptop kind of guy, I like to take my computer with me to work so I don't get bored.  When I have downtime at work I program or watch movies.  I have a couple desktops at home too, I use one as a file server and another as number cruncher/burner for certain projects :) .

Ok cool, I get it. I am more of a desktop guy... I just use my netbook when I need to get away from my desk and in class and stuff like that.
