Acer’s latest Aspire 8930-7665 is an 18.4-inch notebook that comes packed with Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 mobile processor at 2GHz clock speed, 1066MHz FSB and 6MB of L2 Cache.
Other features include NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT 512MB Graphic Card, 18.4-inch widescreen with true 16:9 display boasting full HD resolution of 1920 x 1280, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB hard drive, Blu-ray combo drive, Dolby Home Theater Sound Technology, Built-in Webcam, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity, and 6-in-one card reader.
The notebook is not exactly portable at that size and with the kind of features that it has, but it would be a perfect choice for a portable desktop.
Prices start at $1800 depending on the configuration.

I purchased this Acer model from NewEgg.com:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115542
Performance wise, it turned out to be a dissappointment, and it ships with a 5400 RPM, vice a 7200 RPM. I had to RMA and return this item, since the HHD specification was not as advertised…. read my NewEgg reviews.
My purchase was for $1,699.-, and NewEgg has since raised the price to $1,899-.
I feel it is an over-statement and marketing hype to label this laptop as a ‘gaming rig’, due to the limitations of the NVIDIA 9700M GT.
Though more costly, better graphic solutions would be the NVIDIA’s 9800M series, or ATi’s Mobility 3870/4870 series. For gaming, a system will only perform as well as it’s graphic solution, and there are several C2D’s that will outperform the Q9000 processor.
