    For my needs this notebook seems to have it all. In my limited research the WX seems to be an incredible value compared to other 17' notebooks. Given this, I'm surprised that I was unable to find any sort of review anywhere on the internet. Is there something I'm just missing about the notebook or better yet does anyone have any sort of review of the notebook. Based on the dates of the photos on the P1 website, it seems like a rather new notebook but still im surprised that besides a few press releases I could not find anything.

    Its the same thing as the Asus Z84J, which Chaz reviewed for NBR a month or two ago. There were reports of it getting an optional Go7900 (or 7950, dont remember), but I dont know what happened to that.

    The WX is essentially the Asus Z84J, which was reviewed on this website a couple of weeks back. Here's the review.

    We are working with 3 ODM's now to try to make it happen, some of them like clevo's are too bulky, in April the new standard GPU will be the 7700 hopefully by end of April the 7950 options.
