    Will Dell/Aw be the last brand in the queue with mobile gtx980 also? Such as Dell did with former gtx970/980m in Aw laptops? It looks like Dell has an aversion to cooperate with Nvidia... Read; Since NVIDIA doesn’t directly sell notebooks, we will have to wait for OEMs to announce pricing and shipping dates, but NVIDIA had six notebook designs to go along with the announcement from Aorus, Clevo, ASUS, and MSI (Alienware is not included in this company either as last time with gtx970/980m and also G-sync). . Talk about not move with the new times/in new direction... MSI should be first out of the gate with a new model of both the GT72 and the GT80 which will offer GTX 980 in SLI. ASUS is going to be using the GTX 980 in their new liquid cooled GX700VO that was announced at IFA. Aorus will offer the X7 G-SYNC, and Clevo will have both the P870DM and P775DM. What has happened to the brand Alienware??? Dell make only junk now(Rebadged models with same Bga junk and thin as CrApple)... Other brands make progress while Dell continues with the same trash/now also with a rebadged Aw18and old gtx970/980m that neither has come in sales... http://anandtech.com/show/9649/nvidia-gtx-980-in-notebooks

    I dont think they are going to come to this party. If they do it will be just before the next release of a new gpu and then who cares..

    its all in the numbers for them. They will only invest as much money as gets them X% profit, and nothing better or more, eventually the IP of the AW name will become garbage and its value as a product decreases - there will still always be those people who buy in a name brand no matter what ! NIKE does it, and has been doing so for decades.
