Sorry mate, I must have forgotten that by the time I finished @svl7 AFAIK the clevo p150/sager np8150 Is what you're describing, 6970/485, 15.6, SB etc. No backlit keyboard though (still!!).

Isn't it just a clevo P170 with a big overclock? Impressive though, 4.5ghz on a laptop....

As you'll see from my sig, I'm definitely a desktop fan. Just that I'd heard about these boards a while back, they cost loads and 1366 is a dying socket. On the flipside, they look great, and have some really cool features depending on what gear you already have.

An now Israeli customs knows how to make M17x's, down to the smallest transistor.

Nah, you sound more like a mod at NBR.

Looks way better here (official launch trailer).

No post with that avatar could ever fail.

HDD options: 2x750gb RAID0 or 2x256gb SSD RAID0 That's it. Fail.

They've done the usual crap of upgrading useless things to justify the price. I mean really, does a 1.5gb RAID 0 volume really sound like a sensible base option to anyone? Alienware M18x Laptop Details

Good to know Brian, and ROFL at "weak sauce notebooks".

Hi mate, no problems asking questions, that's what forums are for! SLI and Crossfire are getting MORE popular, not less, so the chance of any new games not supporting it is practically 0.

Tablet would be nice to use as e-reader, My mate has a sony and it's great, but I already have enough devices, I'm looking to replace, not add to. Also good as a media player etc, but primarily for browsing. If there's something else out there that gets 16hrs battery life, weighs less than 2.5kg and costs less than $600USD, I'm all ears. EDIT: And I'm not gonna lie, tablets are still very rare here, I could bask in nerd glory for months!

Don't think so, just have a look at hwbot, the 2600k boys are all stuck at around 102-107 (x57 for 5.8-6ghz). If there was any way to shut it off, they'd have found it.

4th ftw! Perfect length.

I think it's more likely the integrated gpu. Hope it goes well for you.

Even if it did have 2x1gb it would be faster, Vram is overrated and 1gb is a fair bit anyway.

Baseclock of the processor, before it gets multiplied.

ADSL, max I EVER see is about 50k/sec. Normally lower. Trying to do something about it, not easy as we live way out of the city.

LOL, iloveb00bs I think your nick should be Obsessedwithb00bs. NP brian, just I'm on a slow connection, and I hate it when videos have humongous intros. Even 13 sec is more than fine, just when it takes 5 mins to load a 1 min clip, every second counts. For you fast bastards, I'm sure it's no problem at all.

Just wondering if anyone had seen this/planned to buy one. With 16hrs battery and a docking keyboard/battery it looks intriguing. I might pick one up to replace what my eeepc does now. Asus Eee Pad Transformer Review - Asus Transformer TF101 - Eee Pad Transformer EP101
