Build Your Own Gaming Notebook

Why don't notebooks come with Core 2 Extreme processors ?

Only gaming notebooks have a Core 2 Extreme. Toshiba X305 has got it. Dell's XPS has got it. Why not all new laptops ? Wouldn't it be better than Core 2 Duo ? Even if the Laptop is used for applications like Photoshop / Video Editing and Music Productions that use heavy VSTi's and samples.

  1. Why don't all cars come with Ferrari engines?

  2. cost is the major reason most people wouldn't be able to afford one then also most people don't need that kind of speed for what they do and as always the right to choose is king in the name brand market

  3. One size doesn't fit all.

    I guess market research has found that most people using laptops don't require a high end device. I'm guessing the majority of laptop users are either business people that do general office work on them or students doing papers and some audio/video playback. These users may be more interested in weight/size, power efficiency, heat discharge, and other similar features. Performance is probably in there too, but not at the level that you may be thinking.
