The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    We've been told both Vista 64 & 9800GTX are new options coming soon for the m17x; but what do you think are the odds Core i7 will be included in these October changes? Dare we dream?

    no. dreaming isn't allowed at NBR :D

    in all honesty, a mobo revision is highly unlikely. i don't think they'll go through the costs and time of R&D again.

    Its possible. But perhaps unlikely. Its already an impressive machine and has plenty market life left for awhile. They may be better off designing the next machine instead of upgrading/redesigning this one
