    World's Fastest Notebook is indeed the
    Clevo D900C/D901C (Sager 9261)...

    with Quad-Core ability, SLI MXM-IV videocards, and 3 internal HDDs (up to 960GB of storage)

    No other notebook on the market comes close.

    Go for an Asus or HP with 8800GT mobile card. Best price/performance.

    the 9750 is not the "fastest" its just a great one because it can sli dual video cards, 3 hard drives, etc

    because as far as processors go, its not even santa rosa so even the t7700 beats it at higher fsb and a 70mhz higher clock speed (2.4ghz vs 2.33ghz) -
    then they have the x7800, x7900, and also the desktop processors beat it
