Those are very high quality machines, but very large and heavy also (12 pounts
for the 88xx series!). They're pretty much the ultimate "desktop replacement"
machines. They're manufactured by Clevo/Kapok and distributed by Sager,
Prostar, etc. They're sold at http://www.pctorque.com ,
http://www.powernotebooks.com , http://www.discountlaptops.com as well --
check around. There's also a nice discussion forum site at
http://www.talknotebooks.com .
I'm not affiliated, just also interested in these monsters!
