Need a new desktop laptop (spring 2010). It should be 3D enabled (both CAD and gaming 3D). Alternatives I consider:
* Alienware M17x (heavy, good gaming 3D, good screen)

* Asus G73 series, e.g. G73JW (cheap, only hdtv, quite heavy)

* Apple MacBook Pro (don't trust win drivers, slow on 3D)

None has what I would call a decent screen resolution. The actual trend is in fact towards less (i.e. HDTV 1900x1080 or 1900x900). So far, I don't think that any is really worth it (still got a XPS 1730 running).

Here is an official pompous blurb about me:

Need a new desktop laptop (spring 2010). It should be 3D enabled (both CAD and gaming 3D). Alternatives I consider:

  • Alienware M17x (too heavy, good gaming 3D, good screen)
  • Asus G73 series, e.g. G73JW (cheap, only hdtv 1080p, quite heavy, ok screen)
  • Acer Aspire Ethos (cheap, slim, slow 3D, bad screen)
  • Apple MacBook Pro (slim, don't trust win drivers, slow on 3D)
  • Dell Precision M6500 (good CAD 3D, good screen, very expensive in a top config, bad sound)

None has what I would call a decent screen resolution. The actual trend is in fact towards less (i.e. HDTV 1900x1080 or 1900x900). So far, I don't think that any is really worth it (still got a XPS 1730 running).
