    yes, but really not feeling the alienware with all those lights, and a little disproportionate leap in price for just the lights and GPU :eek:

    Kobalt UK are Clevo resellers this side of the pond. Pay little attention with some of the horror stories, many customers are reporting happy dealings with Kobalt at the moment.

    Are you sure ? Overclocked vantage GPU score is about 6500 range for GT555m. Vantage GPU score for stock GTX460m is at 7000 range. How is GT555 faster ?
