    I never heard of them. They pride them self as a "Gaming Laptop".
    But I suggest you a get a more serious hardware. Like the Dell's Precision M6500.
    The main feature of this is "Scalability".

    Yikes. Scary website! It's important to go with a vendor whose product is going to handle the rigours of thermal dissipation and the other potential problems associated with laptops' size. I.e. someone whose pockets are big enough that they have the resources to do thorough testing.

    Run away, I'd say.

    Thanks for the input Wes. You are one of the people I would lean toward for advice since I know nothing about computers. Their website is terrible but the link to the new one, which is coming, is better. If I were going by the website I would leave.

    I called M-Tech and talked for at least half an hour about what I wanted the computer for and they were extremely knowledgable. I called Dell to discuss the M6500 and the person I got knew next to nothing. Not even that the were available with a 17" screen. Not very encouraging. I have an M90 32 bit now, but I use my desktop (XI i7, 12gb RAM, blah, blah, blah and 2 30" monitors flanked by two 21") I feel like Kirk on the Enterprise!

    I was discussing this with my computer guy this morning an he suggested I wait until the Solid HD's are cheaper, since I am not in the biggest rush for something to work on.
