    Oh please, the quadro is horrible for gaming. I am not going to be the one to apologize to all those individuals who purchase one thinking it can game. You guys will.

    Also, the CSR from Eurocom did explain to me that the model is scheduled for release on 1st May, however, there would be a 'slight' delay before units are actually shipped...hmmmm.

    Montevina is scheduled for release at Computex (June 3rd-7th). A " Slight" delay would be an understatement.....

    Justin, is it possible that Sager will release it with current platform? If not possible then I will probably go for m15x. 2 months is toooo long.

    Or just get it from Eurocom, no way their service can be worse than Alienware.

    I fear getting screwed over by Alienware.

    @nirvana0001 Highly unlikely. :( The laptop will not be available until weeks after the new Montevina platform is released.

    Since the m860tu uses montevina, they should be drop in compatible...

    Quad Cores will probably be out somewhere at the end of the year.
    Montevina will come sooner, as Justin said, in June.So I`m guessing they`ll be plug and play :D

    I have been waiting for a good 15.4" notebook for quite some time now, hopefully this is it. Will it have better build quality and heat management than the m15x?

    And sorry this is a dumb question, but does anyone care to explain what montevina is? I know its the next platform of Centrinos but what are the technical differences and will the upcoming desktop processors in the Asus C90p be better? Thanks!

    Montevina has:
    1066 FSB (vs 800 of Santa Rosa)
    ddr3 RAM (vs ddr2 667 of Santa Rosa)
    Better Turbo Memory
    Mobile Quad Core (but its the really pricey 1000 dollar extreme processor)

    Thanks man! Do you know anything about the Montevina platform versus the upcoming desktop processors in the Asus C90p? I imagine the C90p would have the better processors, but it might not have DDR3 ram.

    Is it just me or is this computer MORE expensive than the m15x?

    No, for similar specs the m860tu is cheaper, at least from PCMW it might be more expensive from Eurocom

    Oh boy, here we go again.
    The TU is cheaper, Eurocom has that weird price shift again.
