I just wanted to start a thread about the best gaming notebook configuration in a 15" LCD chassis for the second half of 2009. Here's my dream machine that I hope will become available soon - Let me know if you have any suggestions or see a similar build become available...

Sager NP8662 [OR OTHER]
15.4" 3D-LCD (1680x1050 or higher resolution)
Intel Core i7-290XM Extreme (Quad-Core)
NVIDIA GTX 280M
8GB DDR3 - 1333 FSB
7200RPM HD w/ 16MB cache or low cost SSD


The 3D capable screen is a stretch, but I guarantee that if any manufacturer made this machine available for under $3,000.00 USD - I'm sure it'd be sold out everywhere for at least a year straight! Putting a NVIDIA GTX 280M in a 15" notebook as an option, even without a warranty, would be a really good move, especially for the gaming enthusiasts whom these models target anyways.
