    We know Sager will be getting the X7200, but we do not know when. According to a few of the threads, Sager's been pushing Clevo to have Intel's Xtreme Overclocking Utility (XTU) usable when an EE CPU is in use. This means they want to allow the user to overclock the Core i7 980X (or 990X eventually) beyond its 3.33GHz specification, perhaps as high as 4.0GHz? That'd own.

    Give me a break lol. Overclock this beast. Even if you weren't worried about heat being an issue, who would need that much cpu power. This baby already has enough horsepower to handle any application you can throw at it. Anyways I guess since I don't care about overclocking I rather them just release the laptop already. My pentium III is crying to be replaced already. :p

    if you have to encode a bluray and wait 3 hours believe or not the overclock will help to bring that down to 2 hours but all depends what kind of needs you have
    also i own the D900f with the i7 980X and due to the 32nm process that cpu was running 10c cooler than the regular i7's

    I like the 970 with this machine. Not sure why, it just "feels" right. 980 is just too expensive.

    finally! first one to post up that the x7200 is for sale is rjtech.com
    im waiting for this for months and it finally showed up.
    cant find it? click the tiny 2 and it will show you.

    to rjtech reps (if theres one here)
    make the tiny 1 and 2 maybe a little bit bigger

    maybe by monday it will show up too on other resellers
    ( or rjtech will get more sales ) :D

    maybe a discount for me? just kidding.
    have to save up for this beast now
    ( and a lot cheaper compared to.. you know ) ;)

    The x7200 with one 480m gtx costs the same as the D900F with one 480m gtx. That's cool. I was afraid that the new thing will cost much more. I guess the D900F will be phased out soon.

    Yup, they are pretty much the same price and you're getting a better chassis too!
