Quad-core monster Laptop?

gonna get a sager myself. best way to go..... figure 5-6k for a monster

Bought a hi-end sager way back in 2003--- didn't like it at all...

so big
so heavy
so clunky
and right out the box... one dead pixel on the screen

thinking about this.... with a few upgrades.... this is for editing HDV on location. not hanging out at starbucks writing poetry ... I'll drive over to the 'office' and check the thing out before I commit to anything... sager is only about 30 miles away from me
