Consumer level laptops are cheap because they are meant to run basically low level stuff most of the time and high level stuff very very short times. The extra costs that go into various enterprise and "gamer" class laptops is to make sure that the high-level can be longer.. but they will still only rate it for like 10 minutes of 100% CPU usage versus 30-60 seconds on a commercial laptop. If you need longer get a desktop was what we were told by the above. -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance."
