    So is there anyone who has managed to put a mini-PCI SSD in their Clevo notebook ? I don't know anyone so far.

    Still looks too thin to house a 100W card.


    Only info that article reveals about the GTX 485M is that it's got 2GB of GDDR5 so it's a 256-bit bus.

    I'll bet on it being 470M, on 256-bit bus.

    How much do you guys think this laptop would cost with an i7-2720QM and a nVidia 485M?

    Just wait four days and you'll have your answer. CES is tomorrow, and the nvidia NDA lifts soon too.

    I'm crossing my fingers that its $1800 or less, but something tells me I'm crazy.

    Assuming Nvidia follows its trend of GPU overpricing, I wouldn't be shocked to see the base 15" config at $1800, and the base 17" at a $2k minimum. But there's always the (fleeting) hope that Nvidia doesn't price the 485M through the stratosphere.

    Clevo could clean up, at $1600 and $1800 pricepoints. It's in the green teams hands though.

    6900M comes in March, and that would come at a significantly lower price. Unfortunately I can't wait that long.
