Make a decent small gaming laptop. A gaming laptop is nothing more than a high end notebook with a good vid card. Now, not everybody wants to carry around a 17in or even 15in notebook with them.
1) Make one around 13.5-14in LED backlit screen. Glossy. at around 1280x800.
OR
15.4-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) to give true HD viewing.
2) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (4MB L2 Cache,800MHz FSB)
OR
Something as fast.
3) Nvidia's 8600m GT or better. DO NOT SKIMP ON THIS! By the time you come out with this laptop, i'm sure they'll be something faster. Stick it in here! As long as you got the battery and heat under control, people will buy a small yet lightly heavy notebook if they game on it.
4) at least a 5400rpm or 7200rpm option harddrive
5) decent battery life. at LEAST 2.5-3hrs watching a movie on full brightness and sound. Gaming life can vary.
6) Stick a big battery on it. People will buy it. Look at the IBM T61p, it sold so well, they removed it from the website because of delays.
7) At give it the norm for everything else, usb/dvd burner 8x/2GB RAM/etc.
8) Keep the weight of the 13-14in under 6lbs, the 15in needs to be under 7 in order to compete with IMB and such.
Show the gamer a small notebook that can do 3dmark06 into the 3k+ and he'll buy this notebook if its under 3k. Closer to 2.2k if you want to sell it like hotecakes.[/b]
