    I'd better start saving up. I'm itching to be able to afford an actual high-end GPU for a change. Mid-range is decent, but it feels like it's constantly teasing you, the real cool effects are always just out of reach. It'll be great to just play at 1080p all max and not feel compelled to tweak all the time! I often spend more time trying to eke out more performance than actually playing games - can never decide between visuals or fps :p

    Bring on the money so I can join the upper ranks of the PC hardcore enthuiasts!!! I'll eventually get there.

    I'm tempted to upgrade my 7 year old Dell E1705, when it first came out this was my desktop replacement and gaming machine. Until desktop video cards got way powerful and LED screens got cheap and big, - then I went back to desktops as my main computer and gaming rig.

    June 2013 - still paying down my cc debt by then. I might buy a new laptop summer 2014 when Haswell goes to 14 nm, and the 880M gets out?

    Just kidding around, I'm not really worried about it. I'm fine with 680ms until Maxwell comes out and makes my M18x look like a Super Nintendo :p

    880m will be incredible, but I'd still go ahead and upgrade in June if I were you. You could always buy and install an 880m when it releases (assuming it'll be compatible with MXM 3.0.)

    Do Not count on monster laptops! They are are a firm like sager in turkey but they are not to be trusted, a great deal of turkish forums say they can never deliver your laptop in time according to the forums there are still some people expecting to recieve their orders from last summer! I am turkish and i'm not going for a monster laptop instead I am waiting for my m17x r4 to arrive :)

    Edit: they introduced 670m's last year with their new product back then when nvidia didnt even released their drivers

    Well by UK law if you buy something and it never arrives then you have the right to full compensation/redelivery. Not sure about Turkey but there should be some law protecting consumers.

    Eurocom... blech. This is not new news, as similarly spec'ed machines will be released about that time. We are expecting Haswell and high end Kepler refresh June of this year. I believe the release date of Haswell mobile CPU's is June 2: Intel to launch Haswell just days before Computex on June 2 - TechSpot

    Kepler flagship cards (i.e. 780m) likely about same time.

    I feel dizzy seeing a 4xxx CPU and 7xx GPU. Cant wait to see someone work them up!

    Base on the chassis it looks like a MSI barebone.

    Well the GTX TITAN is out. No hyperQ so I guess none of the 700's are getting it either. :(
