    Pretty self explanatory. What is the smallest sized gaming laptop that comes with a 580m?

    Pretty sure you answered your own question in the title lol (np8150/p150m). I cant see how anything smaller than a 15"(15.6) could provide sufficient cooling for a 580m of all GPU's. Even then, they're mostly seen in 17.3"+ notebooks.

    P150hm all tue way.
    Just look at my laptop which has a gtx485m, which is a downclocked 580m (70mhz difference) that runs at 720/1850 with stock voltage 24/7.
    Max temp is 81c with ICD and a notepal u3 cooler.
    With 580m which runs cooler you could achieve even better results clocks and temps wise.

    Thanks for the point in the right direction. Which US re-sellers will fit a 580m to a P150? I figured all would, but after looking through a few it seems like that's not the case. For example, Malibal will, but Xotic does not. Any others that will?

    Xoticpc did, but the problem is the 580m and the sager 8150 have been phased out to make room for the new replacements.

    I see. I think I'll keep my dollars in my wallet until the p150em is here. Thanks for the help.

    I'm beginning to think CeBit is a bit of a bust this year.

    Don't know if you are still looking, but Xotic is selling the Force 16F2-02 with a 580 for as low as $1300 right now..
