Dedicated gamers?

Surely the hardcore guys use desktops?

The hardware is:

- cheaper, unit by unit

- more configurable (you can choose *all* the components you want)

- more cost effective (overclocking ranges tend to be wider; you might be able to do with a lower spec, but overclocked unit)

- more reliable (cooling is far more efficient)

- more modular; if one unit does fail, it can be replaced and doesn't involve a total replacement of the entire unit

- more updateable; adding a new CPU or GPUs doesn't involve a total replacement of the entire unit

One of these just seems...a bit poser-ish

Actually, can we have more "Lewis-bashes-countryx's-military-spending/decisions" articles?

They're fun, but i refuse to believe we're the worst offenders..surely other countries are cocking it all up worse than us?

Then again...

Hmmm

Pretty expensive for what looks like a pretty dull slab of black.

Only thing that jumps out is the i7, for me.

Meh

Thanks...

...but no thanks. My existing ipad and iphone work just fine thanks.

Though a more media-friendly 16:9 screen & resolution wouldn't go amiss on the ipad though.
