    I'd hate to say it, but all the hype about the 8800M GTX was not that pleasant considering that not even this GPU can play it on HIGH, albeit on Very High.
    The fact that it's built on the Clevo M570RU makes me feel confident that one day I might actually get the 8800M GTX, when prices go doooooown.

    I think that laptop looks kinda cool. Too hefty for me, and those fans can't be that quiet but for an early adopter of the 8800, I think that's a good job.

    Considering they're the same from the sager 5791 ( aka Clevo M570RU) , they're not. The CPU fan stays on pretty much all the time , while the GPU one sounds like a nasty vaccum if you are in a qet room(or maybe the other way around, the point is,one is on all the time, the other is nastier). Avoid libraries at all cost with this one, will get you expelled :p
    But then again, it's a gaming laptop,so who cares? :D

    I'm thinking forward :p :
    In the summer vacation I'm thinking of doing a vacation job, with that money I will get high-end desktop PC.
    But next month in december I'm going to upgrade my laptop (from 2GB -> 3GB ram, I am going to buy an external hard drive of 500GB with 7200RPM and a zalman notebook cooler...)

    So actually I don't care any more about the 8800M
    My 8600M GT will be good for gaming for the next year(s)
