    Well, behold the Clevo D450T: Link.

    Looks like the key features are:
    -Pentium 4 Prescott w/ HTT
    -Nvidia GeForce Go6800
    -DDR2 Dual-Channel memory
    -SiS 656
    -15.4" display
    -DVI-D

    Very interesting that they would release a Pentium 4-based notebook at this time...and with a Go6800. Also, I wonder why they used an SiS chipset and not the i915? That doesn't have the high-definition audio.

    Anyways, just spreading the word.

    All the best,

    I wonder if they're trying to directly compete with the Asus Z81sp? I wonder if Sager will pick this up? I wish Clevo made a 14" with dedicated graphics! it's what they're missing in their Line up!!

    It does seem like Clevo's response to the Z81SP...maybe they used a different core logic to differentiate itself? Seems odd that they would use that chipset.

    I could definitely see this as a Sager notebook.

    One feature I am really starting to look for on notebooks is the DVI-D port - a lot of the notebooks that Sager is picking up have them, such as my 5320, the 5720, 9890, and 9750. Glad to see this D450T has it - that's an advantage over the Z81SP right there. :) Still, I don't see any sense in releasing a Pentium 4 notebook...
