    Any speculation on an AMD refresh for the P151?

    The P150 is a little out of my price range with the 7970m and I really don't need the performance for my gaming preferences. That said, it would sure be nice to get GTX675 type performance out of a much cheaper and lower TPD AMD card in the P151. Do you think they'll do an Ivy Bridge/AMD refresh on this in the next couple of months?

    Looking to replace my 4 year old Asus M50 at last.

    I am wondering the same thing. You should be able to get the 7970m in the p151 if you get the larger power adapter but I'm not completely sure. As far as them supporting other cards like the 7950m, I'm waiting to see that hopefully the 24th will give us some news. I'm not familiar enough with how Clevo has implemented video cards historically.
