So your notebook is not portable anymore when all those devices are connected. Why don't you use a normal desktop computer then?

These are also outdated already. Also, even if they were new, you have to know that XXXXM is much slower than XXXX. I mean that 9600M GT is far not the same as the old good 9600 GT. Notebook components are usually weaker than desktop ones (you sacrifice productivity to save power, decrease heating and reduce size). This is one more point for using desktops for regular work at the regular workplace (course not in the bed or while you traveling).
