    Did you see that the Z37s has an eSATA port???

    How sweet is that!

    Personally I would love a Z37F, myself. Graphics via XG Station ;)

    the Z37S sounds like just the job, if the weight and battery life are okay :)

    E6700 on a laptop? Weird to see desktop proc on a laptop honestly.

    Nice link to Anand though, thanks!!

    it is likely like an old model called the asus z81 that had a p4 and a 6800 mxm card

    Its already different in that one sense because its mxm 2 and that was mxm 3

    I wonder about the C90S. Could that possibly use desktop size hard drive?

    Nope, check the specs in the pic. It supports the standard notebook hard drives.
    The fact that it uses a desktop cpu is an interesting choice, but for desktop replacements, its a very promising concept.

    i dont follow desktop pcs but isnt that this generation of desktop cpu?

    not like, a future generation?

    So the fsb is the same as the centrino pro.

    Im missing the performance increase. It could be a performance decrease because their will be more chips coming out for the santa rosa than the conroe in the future....

    the z37s does look really sweet, now im just waiting to see how heavy this thing is. the eSATA and nvidia gfx is definitely a big plus in my books, but probably not as important as weight and battery life

    Well a comprable Conroe chip will always be cheaper than a Merom....by about $50 at the moment.

    I also imagine that with the number of desktop boards Asus manufactures, there might be some cost savings for them to generate a board like this which they can then use to keep the notebook price competitive. *shrug*

    OMG, so many decisions to make soon! If this stuff is already showing up at tradeshows, even if "white-boxed," I think we may be on the early side of the announcement timeframe. WOOHOO! :D

    they took off those pictures within a couple days of the first link. I'd guess that somebody from Nvidia or Asus asked them to take them down, although that's just my speculation
