I'm aware there are so many factors which make them faster than each other now, Dual Core / 64 Bit / Fastest outright CPU speed, fast RAM / high speed hard disk (which so many people overlook - have you fitted a 7200rpm yet) / and High memory 3D card.

So, what do you have, did you pay too much, and are you happy with it? ie its not too hot / too big / 5 mins batt life / low res screen / poor mouse / etc.

I'm looking for the perfect machine...I know Alienware are good, but they are bricks too. Two of my friends have Acer Ferrari laptops, and they are quite nice if I say so myself.

Currently I'm using 2.0GHz / 700odd MB RAM / 100GB 7200rmp disk / 64MB shared video mem / 1400 x 1050 screen....

Thanks for your answers people...

If you get a Acer Ferrari laptop and then modify the processors you can have a powerful laptop, e.g. I have 2 Pentium 4 HT processors in my laptop which are 3.2GHz each, so you can get just under 6GHz of pure speed which you cannot buy from stores, you then just need to add the right memory to counter balance, 1024 DDR dual channel memory and 7200 RPM with a 10 MB cache.

Model of the laptop is Acer Ferrari 1000 Series, has 2 Pentium 4 processors that both support Hyper Threading Technology, with a modified Commell LV-672 Pentium 4 LGA 775 Mini-ITX motherboard, all this can be done yourself or best to leave it to the professionals ;)

Everyone knows that 1 Pentium 4 processor is fast so 2 Pentium 4 processors will be fast as hell!!!! You can set them to run independently or set them them so one is the primary processor and the other is the secondary processor meaning the second processor will only ever turn on when the laptop begins to slow down when you have a lot of programs open and when the laptop begins to strain.

People think that their laptops are "super fast" but that's because they haven't experienced the pure speed of 2 processors!

My laptop right now is the HP Compaq nx6325 Business Notebook.

2.0GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core
1024MB DDR2-667 RAM
100GB HD
128MB shared video
1400 x 1050 SXGA+ display
DVD+/-RW
Bluetooth
Fingerprint Reader

Runs pretty cool because it's an AMD, battery life is decent (~3 hours) and can be extended upwards of 11 hours by purchasing an extended-life battery. I love it because of its size. 15" standard 4:3 aspect ratio - none of this widescreen crap - and it weighs only about five and a half pounds. Nice and mobile but still offers robust hardware. This is typical of business laptops - higher quality components in a more mobile form. I paid around $1,500 for it direct from HP and would do it again. My only complaint is the performance of shared graphics memory, but you can get an nc8430 that has a Radeon X1600 (and mostly the same specs: Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz, 1GB, 100GB, 15" Widescreen WSXGA+ @ 1680x1050) for $1,679.

that's arguable in a feeling because of the fact the "superb computing device" could lack hardware valuable properties a definite selection has or the seen layout of the computing device. to no longer point out the outrageous value of contemporary, stepped forward hardware. It comes right down to what you % somewhat. some people won't locate the % for Bluetooth, Blu ray drives, overpowered pictures taking part in cards, processors, RAM and all that. whilst somewhat that's all upto the customer to return to a decision what they %. fact of technologies, extra suitable hardware will consistently come out each so commonly so possessing the wonderful computing device in 2012 often is the common in 2015. maximum effectual processor for laptops is Intel i7-3940XM. superb RAM could be DDR3 +16GB (who desires that plenty?) wish you're waiting to empty your products, that's not much less high priced.

Check out the dell XPS M1710
Man this computer is a monster, I personally dont have one, but a friend of mine does, and I have played games like F.E.A.R. and Ghost Recon with absolutely no problem and a very high resolution...

The downside: It's pretty big and a little heavy...

But it surely does pack a lot o power, so if you are looking for performance, this is the way to go.

By the way you have alredy a good computer... why change it?

Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722
Though it's based on Toshiba's midsize Satellite M65, the Satellite P105's 7.8-pound weight places it firmly in the desktop-replacement category. Still, it's lighter than most desktop replacements--and considerably lighter than most gaming laptops, including the 8.8-pound Dell XPS M1710 and the 8.4-pound Gateway M685 (whose case is identical to that of the NX850XL). It's also sleeker than most other desktop replacements, measuring 15.5 inches wide and 10.6 inches deep, and ranging in thickness from slightly more than an inch at the front to 1.7 inches at the back. With its sizable AC adapter, the laptop weighs 9.2 pounds--unfit for regular travel, but manageable for moving from room to room.

The Satellite P105's gray-and-silver case looks like it would fit in at the workplace, but its gaming pedigree is obvious as soon as you boot up: cool blue LEDs glow from beneath the speakers and inside the vents, though to lesser effect than the resplendent XPS M1710's numerous lights. The P105's rounded edges, too, belie its intended appeal to home users, as does the reflective coating on its bright, 17-inch wide-aspect display. The screen's 1,440x900 WXGA native resolution gives it much less screen real estate than the much finer resolutions found on the XPS M170 and the XPS M1710; we wish Toshiba would up the resolution on this display and that of the Qosmio G35-AV600.

Toshiba takes advantage of the wide form factor by outfitting the Satellite P105 with a full-size keyboard and a 10-key numeric keypad (somewhat unusual for a laptop, though also found on desktop replacements from Gateway, HP, and Fujitsu). Given the amount of real estate the case affords, we were somewhat disappointed in the size of the touch pad and the mouse buttons, which felt cramped, and we wish the laptop had a button to turn the touch pad off when using an external mouse. But we did like the touch pad's embedded controls (also found on the Qosmio G35) that let you adjust the volume and launch applications. A fingerprint reader along the right side of the wrist guard lets you log on to Web sites with the swipe of a finger--a rare feature for a gaming laptop. Above the keyboard sit basic media controls (play, stop, forward, back) and two programmable application launch buttons. On the front edge, a small volume wheel controls two Harman Kardon speakers that produce well balanced, if not very loud, sound. Because some configurations of the Satellite P105 run on Windows XP Media Center Edition, Toshiba also includes a slim remote control that slides into the PC Card slot when not in use. The final design feature of note: a handy on/off switch for the Satellite P105's 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi radio sits along the laptop's front edge.

While the Satellite M65 offered fewer connectors than most multimedia laptops, the Satellite P105 leaves out very little. It has headphone, microphone, and S/PDIF audio jacks; VGA, S-Video, and DVI video output; as well as four-pin FireWire and four USB 2.0 ports. Networking options include the aforementioned Wi-Fi radio, Gigabit Ethernet, modem, and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate). The Satellite P105 has both a Type II PC Card slot and a slot for the latest ExpressCards, plus a 6-in-1 media card reader that recognizes Secure Digital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Smart Media, MultiMediaCard, and xD formats. Rounding out the selection is a double-layer DVD burner--about the only things missing are a few more USB ports and a connector for a television cable. By comparison, the Dell XPS M1710 lacks a PC Card slot and an S/PDIF output, and its media card reader doesn't recognize Smart Media cards; however, it does offer two more USB 2.0 ports.

Toshiba loaded up our evaluation machine with Windows XP Professional, and we were a bit surprised that Windows XP Media Center Edition is not offered as an option on all P105 configurations. Otherwise, the Satellite P105 comes with a decent software bundle that includes Microsoft Office OneNote, the Microsoft Works 8.5 mini suite, apps for viewing and burning discs, and Toshiba's Express Media Player, which lets you access CDs and DVDs without booting the system.
