    Very good (and positive) review of the Clevo X8100 on HotHardware. I had never looked at this laptop before and frankly it's beautiful.

    AVADirect Clevo X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook Review - HotHardware

    Specs:

    Model: Clevo X8100
    Display: 18.4" (1920 x 1080)
    CPU: Intel Core i7 820QM 1.733GHz
    Memory: 8GB DDR3 1066MHz (2x4GB)
    Graphics: 2 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 285M 1GB GDDR3 (SLI)
    Storage: Crucial 256GB RealSSD C300 (MLC)
    Western Digital 640GB Scropio Blue
    Optical: Blu-ray Reader/DVD Burner Combo
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Wireless: Intel 802.11 A/G/N
    Webcam: 2.0 Megapixel
    Wired Internet: 10/100 Ethernet
    Ports: 3 USB 2.0, eSATA/USB Combo, 1 FireWire, HDMI In/Out, DVI, VGA, ExpressCard, eSATA, 7-in-1 Media Reader, CATV
    Weight: 12.35 lbs with battery
    Dimensions: 17.3" x 11.8" x 1.7" (WxDxH)

    It kind of threw me for a loop why they would send a review sample out with only 1066mhz ram (even if it is 8gb) but the speeds and Futuremark scores are still very very good. In the end it's a lot of money but what a laptop.

    Ouch, 4,000 dollars is way too pricey for that thing.
