Needs to be a true desktop replacement, and better than the spec to the left. I don't mind paying good money for something quality and fast. Oh, and no manafacturer locking to their gpu driver releases!
And it must be available in europe.

Wait till Ivy Bridge and 28nm mobile parts, it's too close to go high end laptop now.
When are they due to hit?Originally Posted by DhinShin
definetly wait. the laptop you have at the moment is perfectly good.
It would be if it was not busy dying.
I bought this one http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683DX.html and love it
Its slightly bigger brother looks like the one for me I think [yes]

That looks really good! Now I want one.
Had it for 5 days now... good god am I impressed [thumbup]
This thing is SERIOUSLY quick, and so far at least no faults to report.
Better spec than what's to your left? I just got a 14" Lenovo y460 and threw in an 80GB mSATA SSD and couldn't really ask for much more. i7 2630QM, 8GB RAM, and a 550M with Optimus. Insanely fast for a 14" laptop that weighs ~4.5lbs and decent battery life too.
I'm a little curious why you'd want/need something like that MSI780DX. I had a 17" about 3 years ago that was very fast for its time with an 8800M GT. I'll never get a laptop that big/heavy again. It ends up just not moving/being used as a laptop, and I wish I just got a desktop as laptops have no upgrade paths. I can' t think why anyone would need that better performance on the go when more portable options offer plenty of speed for gaming on the go, photo/video editing, and 3D work, then continue at home on their desktop if they really need more power.
13.3-14" Laptops are the perfect size IMO. 10" netbooks are too small to be comfortable/work with for more than about an hour of browsing the internet, 15.6+ are just too big to carry around to work or school on a somewhat regular basis.
I'm not knocking your purchase at all, and know you were looking for a desktop replacement, I'd just really like to know why people still by 17"+ 9lbs+ laptops. I'd rather just build another desktop, and pick a case that was relatively portable if it had to be moved occasionally.
