    The 180M is just a 9800GTX though so...
    I mean, yeah, that'd be awesome, but why does everyone care about the new mobility cards so much when they're just renames?

    They actually aren't renames, apparently they are alot more then that not only are they smaller in size but they are faster too.

    for example, the 110m which is like the successor to the 9300 features DOUBLE shaders and stream processors. The 180m should also be quite a bit better then the GTX but currently there is no info available.

    i know im smart im going to eat a cookie now :)

    If that's true than I'll be excited too. All I've read though is about renames, do you have a link?

    Notebook Check isn't always the greatest source of info. I wouldn't put it past them to confuse an Nvidia 9400M chipset as a second GPU

    wow. That VX5 is probably the most beautiful notebook I have ever seen. The only downside is the lack of a numberpad.

    I agree with Phinage - Notebookcheck is one of the least reliable sites out there for mobile GPU info. I will wait and see what nVidia delivers. Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Well the new "M" series GPU are better then the new "old" 9000 series i've seen a couple of charts I cant find them though. It was a comparison of the new ones and the old ones.

    The new ones look good, as for the VX5 with two GPU's like i said above lets wait and see.

    Red, David says NotebookCheck are just spurning out BS. He doubts it will have 2 GPUs.

    Binary GFX maybe?

    Ikas i honestly love the size it is a desktop replacement so most people who buy it arent going anywhere/

    Maybe binary probably the gefore boost we see in the Studio xps 13 probably a high end card with a 9400 which would still be fine i guess.

    Ugh, the VX5 is a little too tacky for my taste.
