For $5,000? (http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/m1730_wow?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&dgc=EM&cid=26383&lid=601037)
A legendary alliance between DellTM and Blizzard has resulted in a one-of-a-kind notebook designed to deliver the ultimate World of Warcraft® experience
* 17" HD widescreen notebook complete with World of Warcraft backpack
* Illuminated speaker grills and faction specific Honor Badges
* Back-lit keyboard stays awake as long as you can
* Track your stats with the world's first built-in notebook Logitech® GamePanelTM LCD
* Enhanced graphics with NVIDIA® SLITM technology and AGEIA PhysXTM Mobile TechnologyTM
* Pre-loaded with World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade and all major game patches
* Golden Ticket for a custom FigurePrintTM of your actual in-game World of Warcraft character with your actual armor and weapons
* World of Warcraft Beta Club Key Card with a key to future World of Warcraft beta tests
* World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade Collector's Edition Account Upgrade Certificates
* Exclusive desktop background artwork and screensavers
* Additional loot like a behind the scenes DVD, soundtrack, Warcraft novels, strategy guides, trading cards, etc
Ok, the Figureprint and collectors editions all preinstalled is kinda neat. But can I ask why the hell they would include a PhysX card in the thing when WoW has no physics to speak of? Or hell, any game?

To be fair, that isn't all that hard.
4,499 for this shit? Well that's just insane. Stuff like this gives PC gaming a bad name.

Well the Dell XPS M1730 fully loaded is approximately $3500 with full upgrades.
I'm assuming that this laptop is basically the M1730 fully loaded with just some detailing and stuff. Is it worth the additional price? Probably now.

Ahh yes. I was forgetting how expensive laptops are, especially branded ones.

I really dont think it looks all that cool. I was hoping it would have a more stylistic colorful motif on it kinda like the games visuals, but its just another silver and black looking laptop, big deal.

If I had $5k to burn i'd hit it

I guess one of the perks for working for dell is I got to see all the goodies you get with it. pretty neat collector's stuff. They wouldn't let me near the laptop itself tho....bastards.....anyways if you get a hardon for wow and are in need of a spiffy new laptop...other than fanboys though I don't know how many people would enjoy the package.
