    No clue on the price. I selected the 485M and asked for a HOLD until the 580M.

    Since it's replacing the 485M, and the same thing happened with the 460M and 560M, it's not that big an "if".

    Well if the $900 price tag mentioned earlier is accurate and the 485m was said to have been priced at $750, then it looks like the price is going up right? But again I'm just making my assumptions based on info posted by others.

    Has there been any word on whether the GTX 580M will be plugged into anything below 17" besides that one fudzilla article's speculation?

    Yes, but has any vendor come out as offering that model with a 580M?

    Trying to talk myself out of canceling my Clevo P150 order to hold out for the release...

    You may try to talk to your rep and ask to hold for 580m release, don't cancel if its not in the middle of the build.

    First, it's an announcement. Secondly, even if it were "released" today it will still be a couple months before vendors get them in their grubby little hands, test, and implement into their machines. Sorry to be a dream crusher.

    The 560m was implemented pretty quickly, I see no reason why the 580m would be much more difficult considering they were both slight upgrades over their predecessors.

    Well now you ruined it

    As near as I can guess it's the source of this softpedia article. The source links so the site of santec, a tiny site that ships like four different cheap- models which supposedly had the 580M in their configurator, but now they only seem to list various ATI cards and the 550M.

    I've also seen a German clevo reseller list the 580M in a 17.6" notebook but they did not list a ship-by date as far as I remember.

    Schedule your clocks for the middle of next week so either late June or 1st of July. It looks like my 6970m option is going to see an upgrade.

    I wish I had a notebook compatible with the GTX 580M in SLI, then I could negotiate with Clevo for a tester price. Unless some X7200 owner is willing to do that. Tirenz?

    I just wanna see what the new powerhouse will do. And of course, fuel my desires for a P170HM with it there. And the 3D screen. And a 2720QM. And *trails on and goes off dreaming about what could be*

    Now if only clevo would make a heatsink and BIOS upgrade for my D900F that I could put in that 580M >_>.

    Guys, I'm very serious. Any of the X7200 owners want to test for us the GTX 580M in SLI? If any, provide your target price. I'll do all my best to convince Clevo to reach it given the fact that it's not yet officially released. But, please only serious offers.

    What exactly do you mean "target price"? Do we have to pay to test? Or would you pay us to test? Not that I can do it, sadly, but I would like to know for future reference.

    No, Clevo will not pay for testers, neither they are interested. But I can negotiate a price basing on "we want to buy a sample in order to test this card; but because the card is not yet officially released and we don't know its real performance so we want a discounted price for our first order"
    That's what I meant. So the "target price" is what you are ready to pay for a GTX 580M SLI. (if it's not a SLI it'll be really hard to negotiate with them)

    I have only one choice to upgrade if I'm going for the top-end GPU and that's going to be the 580m since the 485m is its predecessor. I'm expecting to be gouged by Nvidia for the new card but that might be offset by a processor downgrade from the 2820qm I selected previously.

    I'm just going by what my reseller has informed me regarding the status of my order, I'll be making a decision as soon as the cards which hopefully will be within the specified timeframe. I'm not settling for a 560m downgrade since I know I will regret it within 3 years.

    "not yet released"

    lol@pricing. Yes 580m is more expensive: +$396.15 vs $395.00. Add that extra $1.15...
