New gaming edge- Best Laptop

Well after reading through countless threads, as I am no expert. I am really curious to see the following 2 notebooks head to head to see which on comes out on top:

For easy refrence point you can go to killernotebooks

the following 2 systems head to head built to the top:
Nagmaki vs the Odachi

The Nagmaki is a re-branded Arima W840 DI

The Odachi is a re-branded Clevo D901C

 

Lets try to use their ODM model names instead, OK?

The Nagmaki is a re-branded Arima W840 DI (aka. OCZ Whitebook)

The Odachi is a re-branded Clevo D901C (aka. Sager NP9262, Rock SL8, PMCW Black-Hawk, etc..)


It is an undisputed fact that the Clevo D901C is the world's fastest notebook.... since its using a desktop platform with:
- desktop quad-core CPUs (65nm and45nm) LGA775
- SLI 9800M GT/GTX
- up to 8GB DDR2
- 3 internal HDD
.... and the best cooling that no notebook can match.

The Arima W840 DI seems quite fast on paper... we need to see more reviews of it before doing any more judgements... but as it stands, it still using a mobile platform and has no chance to beat the Clevo D901C in raw performance.

 

Yea, i didnt know there was anything wrong with how I had refrenced the poll. Thank you for there base names good to know for future refrence ( I did know the Clevo D901C but didnt know the other so stated it the best way I knew how.)

Thanks Gophn I added them as I said I would, hopefully not to confuse people.

 

so we should change all the NP9262 threads to CLevo 901....

/gasp

please ban and delete all my posts. I had enuff.....

 

Please dont make this a bashing thread anyone I just want some opinions. I didnt know it was a huge deal as to teh type of verbage I utilized. Just some opinions about the 2 computers. That is why I posted it in the others forum and not in the Sager/Clevo one.

 

ODachi is better,

btw all builders may use the same clevo chassis, but all of they them use different components (brand) or mod them differently....

mhooper1125 sorry to vent in your thread...

 

No worries, mrblur =)

 

Clevo = more powerful
Arima = more mobile

 

Yes I love the idea of mobility at this point I dont need it and I believe me and you had a quite lenghty thread going in re to this =)

 

The D901C/odachi/9262 wins due to the more desktop nature and the quad core support...

 

to me the NP9262 looks butt ugly, i dont care if is powerful that thing is just not my taste looks nasty, but the ocz whitebook is more of my liking, its beautiful, slick, and powerful enough for awhile and also cheaper too, im waiting for relased day then im ordering it, i rather build a pc than buy a D901c this thing would probably scare my friends away

 

If you wanna be technical about it, the W840-DI is not an Arima product. It's a Flextronics product. Arima sold it's server and notebook division to Flextronics.

 

But if im not mistaking doesnt the Nagmaki/Flextronics now had a quad core processor available.

 

We shall see when the system is released whether or not Mobile Quad Core will be equivalent to the real thang, but I can't imagine a QX9300 Mobile Quad Core will be equivalent to a Q9650. Crossfire 3870 vs. SLI 9800GTX.... I give the advantage to the D901C. However, for looks and portability (not to mention very decent power), advantage W840-DI.

 

A .50 cal is much more powerful and a mainstay in Hollywood yet would have had the same net result as this .308

In the unabridged story of this event, the sniper actually had access to a Barrett .50 cal rifle also. He did not have it with him that day stating, "I got sick of lugging it up the stairs because it was so heavy."

 

Nice analogy,

I mean all in all, it comes down to bragging rights at the point of either of the systems.

Hardware exceeds the demand of software right now ( its a back and forth battle who knows when software will push the limits)

There are a few reasons for my choice and one is because I am going to a SEM confrence and part of the thesis will be along the lines of building something to the max how well will it hold up. So I want a laptop that ultimately pushes it to the extreme maximum.

 

In that case. It sure is hard to beat ammunition so powerful it can penetrate one inch of concrete, six inches of sand, and 21 inches of clay at a range of 1,640 yards.

 

Yes, but mobile quads.
The quad extremes in the desktop still pounder anything in the mobile market.
All that`s left to be seen is how good the Crossfire really is.

 

I have a question for you;

How much more power, a guesstimate is fine, processing wise is the Quad extreme vs the Quad mobile?

 

QX9650 = 130w
QX9300 = 45w (though they said that it has been reduced to 35w)

Edit: nevermind, that's just the TDP rating, which correlates to the amount of heat it produces under max.

In terms of power consumption, the QX9650 draws about 54w non overclocked, according to Anandtech:

Right now, I can't find numbers on the QX9300, and if I can't, I'll try to draw references to other mobile extreme processors to hopefully get a sense on where its at.

Edit #2: Well, it seems that most of the reviews/test I've found indicated the power consumption of the mobile processors being close or equal to its TDP. Thus, should be around 35-45w for the QX9300.
