    I'm gonna guess with the video cards listed, especially:
    NVIDIA: GTX 580M, GTX 560M, GTX 675M (Fermi), GTX 670M (Fermi), GTX 660M (Kepler); ; AMD: HD6990M, HD6970M
    That these specs were originally posted around April 1st?
    A link would be nice

    No, it's real! There will be a new mini nuclear power station option that slides into the battery bay. That way you don't have to carry the eight 300W power supplies with you.
