    Apparently desktop skylake chips are coming out before the mobile versions. Since several clevo models use desktop processors, is there a chance that we may see some skylake desktop processors in notebooks before the mobile versions? From my understanding, skylake should run cooler than hot haswell and is smaller, so it would make more sense to replace the 4790k with a skylake model. Not to mention ddr4 support which should help battery life. It only makes sense. The biggest issue I see is doing a new motherboard for the new models. If clevo releases a skylake desktop notebook, any chances at a new nvidia gpu along with it? Cloudfire did mention the 990m/1080m possibly coming in september, and skylake desktop cpus should be coming in august, all bundled with windows 10.

    any thoughts on this epic combo?

    Please keep Clevo/Sager talk in the proper forum. After examining the link provided, I have decided not to move the thread because that conversation is already happening so I am locking this one. I will tell you, unofficially, that Clevo has big plans.
