MAINGEAR has just unveiled it's latest gaming notebook, the eX-L 18, and they are calling it "the most powerful desktop replacement to be on the market." That's a pretty bold statement, will they live up to the hype?

The MAINGEAR eX-L 18 notebook has: 3D graphics with dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M graphics cards, an 18.4-inch display with a 1080p resolution, your choice of Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs, up to 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, up to three 2.5-inch SATA / SSD drives, an optional Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc Burner, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, and a 3MP webcam. With this notebook, you also have your typical ports, like: HDMI outputs, USB 2.0, and FireWire.

This notebook has dedicated gaming keys that you can program yourself. This notebook starts at $2,999 USD, so it's definitely not cheap. Take your pick, this or the Alienware M17x.
