    Its 7:43pm over at my place... so yeah.

    Anyway, I absolutely love what I'm seeing so far in term of design... Doubt it will let anyone down (Provided you don't set it too high...).

    why? ddr5 is not gonna make much more heat

    any way you look at it this will be the fastest system...the clevo m98NU will be right beside it depending on the OC'ing capability

    some one better find that PLL on the AW

    What about the possibility of liquid cooling? I remember someone mentioning there was talk about alienware considering liquid cooling on laptops several months back?

    surely that would add to the i7 + 2 GPU's speculation?

    Like I said Core is the best we could come up with as all the references look like they were ripped from Wikipedia and economics is full of zero-sum games.

    If you can come up with a better connection I'll back you on it because the answer I got bugs me too.

    The next-gen Nehalem architecture CPUs (both desktop and mobile) aren't even being called i7 anymore.....Lynnfield/Clarksfield is being referred to as i5.

    I hope they keep the smartbay as well but as far as weighing you down an aluminum chassis should knock a pound or two off the notebook.

    I'm not going to lie....I'm a little disappointed (jealous ;þ) that the screen name I use on these forums to maintain my anonymity was not mentioned at all and will not receive it's 15 minutes of fame.

    epeen +0. :mad:


    But I will take solace in the fact that at least this time Engadget didn't post any of Quicklite's obviously photoshopped pics that people all over the internet are still taking as legit. ;)

    The first four prime numbers are 1,2,3 & 5 which add to 11, not 17!!

    if this is a 17 inch 16:10 model with SLI GTX 280s, I think it'll steal a lot of sales from the M980NU simply because of 16:10 and the smaller size.

    I was hinting at Engadget's pretty well established track record of posting junk before checking their facts....thinking they do it on purpose I'd say is giving them too much credit.

    I think this is on topic with all the "buzz" surrounding the much anticipated release of the new line.

    If you've got some new pictures or more "code" I'd love to hear about it... :)

    Don't worry Quick you're not at fault for making the pic. It's just that there are too many people that don't know how to recognize a joke where no one is getting kicked in the nuts or breaking wind.

    Here's the latest appearance I've found of your artwork:

    Dude I hope this is true for 2 reasons: 1) i7 would be awesome even if you don't really need one, and 2) Slap around the dudes with "reliable sources" running around chanting "no i7, trust me" :D

    that's what i got as well. this is wierd... something smells fishy here. i can't place the "hywar" in the AP or AW context, and the image itself is pretty wierd too, a cobbled together mix of different alienheads and two rather strange elements that look somewhat like wall sockets.

    nice one, i tried to do the same in GIMP, but failed miserably. what i see there in the background is a PMP (portable music player) on a base/speaker device. is AW branching out into music? then the tagline would at least make sense.

    however, because of the "hywar" signature, i'm inclined to call hoax.

    whizzo it's the logical trajectory to follow. I think the 750i desktop is the next on the chopping block, as to when I don't have the slightest clue, but you gotta know it's coming at some point this year. The use of the i7 logo means nothing as far as notebook branding, it's all happening on the desktop side for i7... for now at least.

    Note that I'll be the first one in line for a serving of crow if i7 comes anywhere near the new 17", but it ain't happening.

    "All Powerful" is a marketing term--and a rather arrogant one at that. At this point, there's no way to know what it means.

    yeah but there's been zero news on desktops being part of the All Powerful "program". it's been strictly about the new laptop(s) until now, especially in regards to the released wallpapers and video.
