Clevo D900F - World's First Core i7 Notebook




D900F specs (other than having Core i7) and chassis still looks like the D901C... however I think there is only a single GPU... will confirm soon.

There you have it the world's first Core i7 notebook.

Clevo M980NU



the monster 18.4" with dual Nvidia GTX 280M with mobile quad-core CPU support.... as well as hybrid graphics modes.

definitely designed to game.

Clevo IP54 (formerly known as T98xM)



- 8.9-inch (1024 x 600) Rugged Netbook / Netslate
- Specifically designed to be rugged
- Touchscreen
- Intel Atom Z500 series CPU
- hand straps to fit hand like glove for use while moving.


More to come.... need sleep.

Please post all pics and news from CeBIT here.

 

OMG!!! There she is...Thanks Gophn for sharing this ...people, please keep this thread updated.

 

Very nice! I also hope the do put three RAM slots in it.

I am wondering, since it is probably going to be a single GPU, how will the chassis change compared to the D900C?

 

What a beauty... inside this machine especially!!!
Another pic...

 

Is that an M860TU to the left? Does it feature any new upgrades?

Hands on with the Clevo M980NU

Looks awesome! though I'm a bit skeptical of the Keyboard layout...

Also, you can forget about MXM 2.x in this thing, looks like it'll be using MXM 3.0...

 

The M980 NU review was sick man, thing looks good. I wonder why they are going single gpu on the D900f? Maybe the new 280 gtx cards cant fit on a 17"?

 

Probably because they're returning to the original design of the D900 series. Single GPU with desktop CPU.

The chassis looks identical to my D901C, very curious as to how it looks inside.

 

Lets hope so also. Triple channel DDR3 has proven quite successful compared to dual channel.

 

So no 15.4 laptop, still the m980nu looks really nice too bad its too big....

 

True...from the little reviews i've seen Tri seems to definitely have an edge over the Dual RAM Slots. But from the Specs here it may not have three slots. [I know those specs are not final]...nevertheless 8GB of RAM should be more than enough memory for any task.

One hardware feature I wished they would have implemented is a Built-In Finger Print Reader. I could live w/ out it though...but that would've been the Icing on the cake!

 

One of the main reasons I went with the NP5796 over the D901C was the fingerprint scanner. I love it. That and Turbo Memory, but with 7 being so efficient with everything, I would not miss it.

 

Is it really useful? (fingerprint scanner)

I can't really get my N80vn to scan properly.

 

no Led screen

 

The D900F keeps the same, dated, kinda ugly, chassis design as the D901c...That's just lame Clevo.

 

Hard to decide which to upgrade to!

The M980NU has the 9400m chipset, which I like many times over the PM45 chipset, and 18.4in screen, 3x HDD, SLi GTX280m gpus, and support for the QX9300.

Whereas the D900F has Core i7 and triple channel ddr3, which I think is all its got over the M980NU.

I am thinking I will have to hold off on Core i7 for now, sadly, seeing that I do need battery life.

What are we thinking for launch dates? Q2, Q3 perhaps?

 

D900F will have triple channel. 3rd RAM slot will be located under the keyboard

 

its very sadly that D900F will probably have only one video card

 

Then they should redesign it to take the size down a bit?

 

Very sexy indeed! I'm still happy with my D901C though; even if I had waited that year more, the D900F would probably start out at a so high price, that I'd need to wait for another half year. Awesome news with the i7 processor though!

 

Can we assume no ATI cards for these new beasts?

Seems unfortunate.

 

the x58 support ATI cards the new 4870 have MXM 3.0 variant the real question is if the Clevo will release a bios support for them

 

i ll be there tomorrow can't wait!

/ bragging

 

Another note, each system I've used with the nvidia 9400m chipset have been extremely friendly toward overclocking. With as much room as the m98 has, I'm think I'm feeling some good OC times ahead.

 

Already back, didn´t get real machine pics. but specifications already in hand.

 

so??????

 

More is coming...

Wow, nice turn out... I posted at 3am PST.

Anyone that is at Clevo, make sure to mention NotebookReview.

And I need to host some more pics that was sent to me.... mainly D900F.

I want some good M980NU pics (and the other notebooks) if someone can get them.

 

Did you check out notebookcheck.com? They have a LOT of pictures of the M980NU. They even have it with the cover off and stuff and already did some benchmarks on it with a single GTX 280M + X9100.

 

the d900f appears to be a step backwards.

-single gpu solution (what will happen to all that space for the 2nd gpu?)
-looks like the vga was replaced with hdmi
-no lighted keyboard already?
-no solid glass lcd panel already?
-no full keyboard?

not sure what the gameplan is here. if someone can simply take a picture of the back of the unit i am curious of the 2nd gpu fan grills are still there.

 

.... I want something with the look of a M980NU but power like D901F

 

I thought the M980Nu was supposed to be more powerful than the D901F <.<

 

added pics of D900F device manager and Clevo IP54 netslate.

 

I got to admit the M980 is about the best looking clevo I have seen...

 

The M980NU looks like its going to be a real killer. The D900F isn't that good anymore especially with single GPU. We just have to wait for the price now.

 

I think I like the Clevo D900F with Core i7, single GPU, and 3 HDDs... for my purposes.

Like the original D900's .... best desktop CPU, single GPU, multiple HDDs.

I really like the 8 threads that can be utilized for heavy rendering/editing/converting for pro-media professionals.... having a good GPU for good gaming... and ultimate mobile storage.

A great all-around mobile workstation.

The Clevo M980NU is definitely made for gaming indeed.

 

scratch that last statement..

but man,. they killed it with only one vga...

and no one has a picture of the bottom yet?

still no varification on whether it will have over clocking....

 

I think I'm in love!
Thank You Clevo

 

dang ikas...your easy to please....*LOL*

j/k

 

Yep Gophn i like D900F more too even if it has only one card X58+Core i7 i think its better than mobile cpu+ two cards

 

it's better at doing cpu intensive applications. so if you dont game. this is the way to go.

if you game, then the m98nu is your best bet...unless there is an option under it to add a second gpu...(wishful thinking) but if so...im all over that. but if not...think i may wait for the next i7 or just grab a m98nu...but if it has no over clocking...i wont grab any....

 

That's some crazy logic there. I would take 2 GPUs over 1 and an i7 anyday.

Especially when the latter is butt ugly.

 

well the M980NU will be very powerfull with QX9300 if allow overclocking
but we must have to see full review of D900F to decide
still i will not have the money until the end of the year

 

-_-

End of the year? Why are you even considering anything now? By the end of the year Capella equipped notebooks will be pouring out of manufacturers, packing GPUs a lot more powerful than the GTX 280M.

 

any offical release dates from the clevo booths yet? The eurocom release dates are unreliable.

 

probably because these laptops will be on the market after few months

 

I totally agree w/ u guys...The main reasons for me wanting the D900F is because of that Intel i7 975 Extreme processor and Triple HDD compartments. I am not into PC gaming really so this sexxy beast having one GPU is perfect for me. IF the M980NU had at least two HDD compartments and a desktop processor such as the i7 975 I would have definitely be leaning towards it. And yes the D900F has the same look as the D901C but if the naming code for it is D 900F what would you expect...afaik those numbers represent the chasis type so it's bound to look the same. Either way, w/ that much power under the hood the looks is transparent. And they do say love is blind!

Edit: Dang the M980NU supports 3 HDDs as well. Link

 

Depends on what you intend to do with it.

 

not sure what you guys are talking about the m98nu has 3 drives.
and can run dual gtx280m's
im thinking that i7 is gonna have to wait...

 

Yea I just noticed that..the D900F still owns the M9 on processing power though... You just can't beat an i7.
