What's impressive about an expensive Ultra book running a game?

Whats impressive is you can pay a 10th of the cost for a console to play the same game :P

This is impressive in the same manner as seeing a Tesla Roadster haul a trailer. Mathematically it's possible but not something it was designed to do.

Dont see that myself its just a laptop with a very expensive detachable keyboard, if it was a tablet doing it like the RT version or a IPAD, that would be cool.

I don't see your logic at all. Are you just stuck on the whole x86 vs ARM? x86 is laptop ARM is tablet?

Just because internal coponents are the same as a laptop doesn't change the form factor to me...

Seeing Windows RT or iPad running steam and Batman Arkham City wouldn't be just cool...it would be impossible.

Obviously it would have to be ported to thos platforms for it to work,

What im saying is i dont see what so impressive about a really high end x86 laptop device running batman, we have 7 year old tech running batman.

If it was the lower powered arm chips then yeah id be impressed.
