Right so I'm an avid PC gamer love it so much BUT I'm on the road all the time and away in hotels due to work so I can't really lug my CM 690 II around with me..
I'm in love with this but I don't know if it's worth it..

Now I know it's a lot of money but the main thing I want is portability and this surely is!!
I'm not looking at max FPS but the GTX 660m with SSD should handle most stuff should it?
I don't need a disk drive so that doesn't bother me.. And I love the trackpad/2nd screen idea 
... So am I being a twat for thinking of buying this??

They are pretty nice but they're bloody expensive for what you're getting. A GTX 660 is a pretty capable card (I'm about to buy a 670), and with 8GB of RAM and the SSD (though 64GB is pretty damn small considering you can get a 256GB SSD for around £130) should help. I'm not sure on the clock speed of the I7 but should be sufficient.
They look awesome but I wouldn't pay that kind of price tag for one.

its only around £1.5k.
Although a lot of money, performance laptops do cost. I don't have the time at the moment to compare. Ideally i'd want much more in-depth specs on the specific CPU and ram timings for that sorta dosh.
If you're looking at a performance laptop, make sure you are getting the best value for money possible. Take a look around at other comparable models, Dell XPS, ailenware (if you feel brave) some of the new ultrabooks are quite nippy too.

If it's retailing at that price then it's not much different to shelling out for a 15inch MBP, though with this you get a larger screen, more RAM, better graphics card (though probably the same i7 processor) and that fancy screen and configurable buttons on the keyboard. The Razer looks pretty damn good. I guess the build quality is a pretty big factor, as well as customer/after-sales service.

The i7 processor hasn't been listed because apparently it hasn't been released yet, they are in talks of having a specially modified i7 to run with this..
Thanks fooby
I've looked at so many lappys now lol alienware,origin,Asus,clevo,qoismio,samsung,hp,
They're all sooo bulky compared..
And Scott yes, When you compare it to a 'macbook pro with a ridiculously long name retina display' it seems justifiable...
Ram Is 1,600 mhz
I think that when windows 8 is launched the 'touchpad' will have features related.to that which should be awesome.. I thinking I'm selling it to myself LOL
I just wanna play borderlands 2 and mass effect 3 on it..

Seeing as you are a 'nerd' this might appeal to you...

windows 8 is for touch-screen monitors. not the touch-screen that comes with the keyboard. Simple fact. Windows 8 wont make any difference on that.
About the ram, yes i saw it was 1600mhz DDR3. I was talking more of the CAS timings and voltages as well as manufacturer.
They have also recently released the Razor keyboard (with that screen that laptop has) i'm very tempted because its clearly win but very expensive.

Yeah I wanted to know which manufacturer it was as well.. Wouldn't mind corsair
That touchscreen is the trackpad on it..
I meant with regards to some manufacturers starting to use the new gestures that windows 8 uses but can't do on current trackpads.. I'm sure it's something to do with synaptics updates coming out for future notebooks which I was saying I have a feeling might work with this, im sure they create there own drivers for the trackpads/keyboard..
I saw the keyboard as well.. I'm sure it's around £100-£120?

Oh yeah, gestures. interesting point, I guess that could be a possible feature. Be interesting to see how that plays out to be honest
With a laptop that high spec/price i'd be hoping the manufacturer is decent. But its more about the quality of memory they put in there.
yeah the keybord is lush:

It is £229 though... which for a keyboard is fooking lot of money
