What Luxury laptop to get, Lamborghini, Ferrari or the Maybach

[Greenberg]

Which one of these would be the fastest and the most luxuriest one. I like the Maybach looks nice, hehe or maybe I just like the Maybach :D

None of them...wait for dx10 laptops to hit the market.

I'm going to say none of them too (mind you, havn't seen the "Maybach").

It could be that my local retailer just has "old" versions, but they carry both the Acer Ferrari and the Asus Lamborghini, and they both suck.

Ferrari - Turion 64 X2 + Raxion X1600... WTF?
Lamborghini - Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) +GeForce Go 7400... WTF?

Pretty well the worst laptops in their price range. IMO you'd have to be brain damaged to pay that much for a laptop and get a type of processor that's blatently inferior to the Core 2 Duo.

Edit: I just looked up the Ferrari and Lamborghini... yeah, even the better Ferrari isn't nearly worth its price tag. The Maybach apparently does feature a Core 2 Duo, but the hard drive is a first-gen solid state (so less speed than you might have hoped for), and the video card is unknown. Add in the ~$4k price tag, and I'll say this is a no-go too.

Edit 2: In addition, the "ferrari" and "lamborghini" decals on the front are cheap looking plastic POS's

Yeah, I paid $900 for a Dell E1505 with better specs last October.

C2D T7200 2Ghz 4mb cache
Radeon X1400 256mb
1gb DDR2
60gb HD
XP Media Center
WiFi
Bluetooth....other stuff.....you get the idea.

Wait for the DX10 laptops

I'm not sure I agree. Unless you plan on playing DX10 games in the immediate future it seems to me that the power consumption would more or less require the laptops to be desktop replacements instead of truly mobile computers.

I dont think anyone is expecting to see 8800GTX in a laptop but somewhere along the line of an 8600 or even 8400 is fine for a DX10 mobile solution.

Laptops clock down the card and keep them mostly idle when not in use, just like the CPU.
