The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    That's a rebranded Clevo M590K; Sager sells it as the NP5950 and Alienware as the mALX. A shame it only has a single-core Turion 64 though.

    Do you mean no stated Turion 64 X2 upgrade? (which is what the prior poster had already pointed out..)

    Otherwise it prices out like other similarly equipped workstation replacement laptops, and it prices out very similarly with this same model available through other laptop providers. That coupled with Portable One's cooling modifications, burn in and test, and overall customer satisfaction, should make this attractive for someone wanting a big desktop replacement laptop...

    i believe the m590ke is not out anywhere yet (including japan).
    there have been some early press releases etc but nowhere that is actually selling it yet.

    if you know otherwise Snakes, I would love to know where you saw it! :rolleyes:
