    Wow! this IS the best looking Clevo I've seen with the usual awesome specs too! Having the Core i7 though would have been even better.

    EDIT: 700th post! :D

    I know. If they can come through with the quality aspect, it may be a great contender. I guess if they keep with the mobile processors they will keep the heat down as for the two graphics cards. I love the blue/gloss style. I hope they fix the keyboard area to be more matte than gloss though. What would be sweet if the center led image in the back of the screen could be changeable for like 10 char/graphics or a change in color.

    No Core i7 in this baby as it is designed to run on battery still, and a mobile i7 has not been announced. I'm quite excited for the system. Lets hope they beef up the cooling system in it with the extra room they've got. Maybe a 3x multiplier unlock on the cpu ;)

    It looks like someone spilled latex paint on a giant M860TU. Shiny! I wonder if the keyboard stays in ;P But jeez, I find a 15.4inch on the large side on my desk; this thing would be a monster.

    Hopefully it's priced to compete with the W90.

    hopefully its running stable and not rushed to market like the asus. and no dirty tricks by publishing faked 3dmark scores and doing marketing with this faked scores in misleading press-releases.

    I agree, I can't stand touchpads without a tactile surface/border. I find I'm always straying off them which annoys the crap outta me.

    I wonder if we put an invisi-shield cover on the trackpad if it would give a little more stick.
