    Will the 9260 give me a big enough performance increase when gaming to justify the extra money I will be spending?

    How much worse will the battery life be with the 9260?

    Are either of the two more upgradeable in terms of GPU?

    you should be comparing the:

    Clevo D900C (Sager 9260) and the Clevo M570RU (unbranded at the moment).

    The Sager 5760 (Clevo M570U) is the previous generation, in which its modular videocard design has already maxed out at 7950GTX.

    The D900C and M570RU both have the same new modular videocard design, which will be ready for high-end DX10 cards.

    The D900C has option for Dual videocards (using SLI), while the M570RU will have a single card.

    The D900C will be using a desktop Core 2 Duo, while the M570RU will be using new mobile Core 2 Duo (Santa Rosa).

    The D900C has up to 3 internal HDDs, while the M570RU will have one (and probably a secondary for the optical bay).

    The batterylife of the D900C will be dismal (around 1-1.5 hours) compared to the M570 with around twice as much.

    The M570RU will be announced official any day now. Its scheduled date for shipping should be next month.

    The RU has no release date aside from this summer, probably going to be released along side of the 8800M/8700M. The RU will probably have space for two HDDs, with normal and one in the optical drive bay.

    Hmmm... starting to think about the D900C now. It's for sure going to be able to upgrade to 8800 when they come out?

    I am confident to say that these new next-gen gaming notebooks are ready for the high-end DX10's. Just be patient, within the next few weeks, Nvidia should announce the mobile enthusiast Geforce 8M's.

    As for the model number: 8800.... it might be changed by Nvidia... up to them.

    Read this:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=127580

    So I call it high-end or enthusiast DX10 cards for now. :)
