    The fact that Sager is charging 550$ for the GTX 480 upgrade on the D900F really scares me. Seems like we are going back to the 9800 GTX era... luckily ATI is actually doing something very interesting now, unlike 2 years, so in short the consumer wins. Want the best of the best (and hottest)? get the GTX 480. Want something almost as good for a reasonable price? get the 5870.

    Hopefully this will encourage more manufacturers to adopt MXM.

    Dual GTX480's? Not much point in having a detachable power cord.

    But still the specs are simply amazing regardless of how little battery life is.
    If the temps are maintained at a decent level the X7200 is going to be crazy powerful.

    It will definitely be more powerful than the current AW m17 R2, we will see what's AW's response.
