I am no to upset by this for the simple reason it gives me an excuse to go buy another laptop. I am some wha partial to HP for they have worked great for me in the past. I was wanting to know what was the best computer laptop to get for simming. I want something that is going to smoke FSX something that would run it on max settings with ease and not even flinch. I want a computer that is a smokeing fast huge memory flight sim machine..........can you give any suggestions?

I recently built a system for just over $2K.
Intel Q9659 CPU
EVGA 790i SLI Mobo
EVGA GTX280 video card
1TB Seagate Barracuda HD
4GB DD3 RAM
Although I'm still tweaking some things, it runs very well. I had planned to load it up with 8GB of RAM, but read that ironically 8GB runs a bit slowler than 4GB. Go figure.
