Yeah lol The limited x-treme edition will be a refrigerator by the way

 

You do realize of course that this is nothing.
They have the ability to pack far more advanced tech into laptops, but because of profit margins and market demands, it's not being done.

It's powerful by today's standard, but the fact they probably already have something that will stomp this in 2 years time (lining up probably for the next 10 years) it's actually quite sad ... and overpriced to boot.

 

Deks, surely you jest?

Just like us, they use the computers/tools that are currently available to make the future's 'wonder products'.

They may be playing with something that looks like out of Star Wars to you and me, but trust me, they're not getting any work done with it - they're simply squashing the bugs so that we can enjoy it asap.

 

2 years is a long time to remain king of the IT hill...
i'm just curious as to how "portable" this bohemoth would actually be. the link doesn't work for me btw. it actually comes up with the "..." in the hyperlink zzzZZZ

 

heatpipes...Heatpipes...HEATPIPES!!! And I'm guess 3-5 fans...

It won't run as cool as a desktop, but I don't find this impossible...if they can get a nuclear reactor on a submarine, they can get dual GTX480m's and a i7 980X in a laptop

 

Fixt

I have to wonder if they mean it will get 1hr battery idling? And of course the real simple question for the whole thing... why?

 

This would have to have a marine gel-cell to get 1hr battery life LMAO.

 

Remember though that the 980x is a gulftown processor and is made on a 32nm process, unlike the quad core i7's. Its six cores use the same power at the same clockspeeds as a quad core 45nm chip.

 

lol loved that.. but i think antartica might be the only place u can use it without getting burnt.

still in the D900F it used to be quite hot.. with the 480M SLI , i can't imagine the temps unless they put 5 fans in the notebook.

 

Sure would like to see a review of this - anyone seen this mythical beast Dual 480m's would be wicked to run!

 

ur power bill wouldn't be that nice... for the amount of power this would suck and how much it would weigh , it would be better to build a desktop.

 

Notebooks are still much better than desktops in power consumption...

 

Some of the top end machines from MYSN have the option to have the desktop Hexacore processors, this one even seems to have the option to have some of the Xeon processors (confused!). Only one GTX480m though

 

But with power savings you'll never make up for the difference in price of a comparable desktop.

 

So would a single desktop GTX 480 blow away this config?

 

True, but if you need mobility, that's the price you pay...

 

Mobility....

 

Read: Yes. Especially a desktop worthy of having a GTX 480. Granted this does have an SLi setup, but I'd expect the desktop could still outperform it.

Desktop GTX 480: 480SP's -- 384bit Memory Bus -- GDDR5 -- 48 ROP's -- Faster clocked than mobile

Mobile GTX 480: 352SP's -- 256bit Memory Bus -- GDDR5 -- 32 ROP's -- Slower Clocks than desktop

 

The mobile cards are a lot slower than the desktop version. 425 vs 700Mhz. Also remember that you can overclock desktop components to your heart's content (and how good your cooling is), something not readily done on a laptop. At stock clocks, the desktop card is a bit more than twice as powerful as a single mobile card. A desktop would blow this laptop away.

 

wow.. 6kgs is very mobile.. i actually thought that this was going to be 9kgs originally before i read this thread.
