Duz it ran Google Earth flite simyoulater abuv 10fps? I'll take ten. ...That is some serious power in a laptop, the quad core plus dual mobile 8800s!? phwoar. Shame its two grand minimum. I'm presuming the £3500 model is the quad core - the only one worth going for to 'future proof' yourself (future proofing is a stupid term really) - waaayyy out of my price league. A complete beast!

Upon unpacking, however, the mass of this machine is so great it exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit and immediately forms a neutron star. Earth accelerates towards this super-dense mass at roughly half the speed of light, causing it to break the very bonds holding atoms together, and we are all converted into pure neutron degenerate gas. and the point

For that sort of money you could have two gaming desktop rigs, with larger and better quality monitors, less heat issues and the potential for future upgrades. I don't believe that there is a high demand for high end gaming rigs that can be carried around (and for that matter, a gaming shuttle rig can probably be transported as easily as this monster). @A complete beast!

Impressive :-) HD?

Actual HD-DVD or the more useful Bluray? My 1600x1200 1.8Ghz P4 laptop is nearly 6 years old (Dell Inspiron 8200 with 32M GeForce 4 440Go) cost nearly €3000 at the time. *sniff sniff*

I certainly didn't smell -this- one cooking. Hot stuff

Drool-worthy though the spec is, the problem with monster laptops is that (a) they can't run at full pelt (i.e. run games with acceptable frame rates) on batteries (b) they tend to be too hot/heavy for a lap. With my Thinkpad T60P (decent enough CPU but no gaming rig) I need a window open to keep me cool when it's on my lap in "maximum performance" mode. Christ knows what one of these would be like. They should re-instate the "portable" or "luggable" moniker for these beasts. Or maybe "sperm toaster". John lap on fire

I take it this thing runs ultimately hot. My two-and-a-half-years-old desktop gaming rig needs air conditioning- and lots of it- or it overheats fast. I can see this one catching fire, and this time it's not the battery's fault. Nothing new ....

Nothing new about this notebook. It is just an OEM version of the Clevo D900 / D901. Many other suppliers in Europe and the US are selling it under their own brand name, for instance as Sager NP9262. In defence of gaming laptops...

I have a Clevo M570RU (17'' 1680X1050 screen, T7300 2Ghz, 4GB RAM, Nvidia GO 7950GTX, yada yada yada) And it does work very well for my uses. Yes I could have gotten a faster desktop with less money, but I do get to play some games and movies desktop like in my room (attached to an LCD, ex.keyboard and mouse while lying confortably on my Fatboy(TM)) then join the family in the sofa and browse the web while whatching the telly, take it to a mate's for some LAN gaming or work, on weekends with the girlfriend to watch movies and play some Worms... And mine doesn't heat up that much, beint a lot cooler that a freing of mine's McToastBook. And it runs Crysis too :P Can I get it

Can I get it with either pink or white leatherette covering replete with a fire breathing dragon embossed on the top cover ? You can get it

There are some US companies that can pimp this notebook any way you like. This is the fastest notebook in the world, so many gamers want it and are willing to pay a lot of money to give it an individual appearance, incl. breathing dragons etc. The period for commenting on this story has finished |
