    I'm so excited I can't concentrate on revising for my finals. =( I really hope it's not 18". Sure, it's nice as a desktop replacement but bags are so hard to come by for that size, which would make it even less mobile than the m17/x. Though, I can't see AW doing another 17" with the m17 doing so well, still and with 4870s still supposedly on the way. I'm going to take a stab and say it's going to be 15".



    P.S. Rose/Armado, I'll be your bestest friend in the whole world if you leak us a picture. =)

    I was waiting for you to comment on this. I know these are suppose to be desktop replacements but having some mobility is nice. If someone wants a powerful 18" just go buy the Asus. Let's be happy this is sticking to 17".

    Ok from your insider knowledge its not the 18 incher, and I don't know if you signed a confedentiality clause when you left AW Euro, so with that in mind can you at least say that it is not a rebranded Clevo?

    Not a Clevo that I know of. I think it is another Quantas.

    A m17x-like system with updated Nvidia SLI is going to cost an arm and a leg. M17 will probably still be the best value.

    i think they will release 2 lappys
    1- 15" to replace the faulty m15x maybe a sager np8662 rebrand
    1- 18.4" duo sli maybe rebrand of the sager 9280

    i really hope they get capella exclusive laptops "fingers crossed"

    I'd like to see it have both SLI and crossfire and a 17inch if not bigger screen with montevina and it should be exclusive. Now the problem I have is I want one but already have two an m15x and m17 both of which could use graphics upgrades rather than replacement machines. damn this hobby its so expensive!

    17.6" 16:9 with 2048x1152 res.
    Exclusive design.
    ATI or both brands but Dell has been using Nvidia less and less in notebooks.
    CrossfireX 4870 DDR5 but 4860x2 would be pretty cool to see.

    I wanted Clarksfield Quadcores....unfortunately 20 days seems a bit soon for their release.
