Acer has a $9,000 portable machine for gamers

It's almost as portable as the machines were back in the 80s;

Gamers love to indulge in excess. And as a gamer, I'm among the worst offenders. But nothing, not even my own love of recklessly spending money on gaming hardware, could have prepared me for the sheer insanity that Acer has cooked up with its over-the-top Predator 21X.

Sporting a 21-inch curved display, twin high-powered graphics chips and a $9,000 price tag, this 19-pound behemoth is an overzealous gamer's fever dream brought to life.

I've been using one of the only 300 21X's in the world as my primary computer for the past week. While it's probably the least portable laptop I've ever used, it's also a gamer's fantasy rig.

I think I'll stick with my air for the time being.

That costs more than my car.

I don't think I'll be able to stand up for awhile...

Out of nutty curiosity, did anyone actually get that joke?  Cause I thought it was pretty fun... (but then again, I'm warped, so YMMV).
