    Toshiba Qosmio X305 gaming laptop has the following specifications:

    * Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz processor, overclockable
    * 1GB Nvidia GeForce GTX video card
    * 4GB DDR3 RAM (up to)
    * 17-inch WSXGA+ (1680x1050) display

    I hope the next generation of Clevo D901C will have something like:

    * Intel Quadcore overclockable (desktop processor, fore sure :D)
    * 1GB Nvidia GeForce 10 series hi-end card
    * 4GB DDR3 RAM (up to)
    * 17-inch WUXGA

    Ok,first off.
    The D901C is the most powerful DTR on the planet, period.
    Secondly, the 1Gb N GTX is the 9800M GTX ;)
    WUSGXA? what? :D
    USB 3.0 ?

    Sounds to me you want a D900X ;)

    It already has that.(WUXGA) :D
    And about the 10th series, not even the desktop world has seen them, so it will be at least 1 year till you will see the mobile parts.
    Heck, nobody even saw the 9800M GTX in action yet...

    OK, some things to note:

    If the D901c has Sli 9800, then it has 2GB Vram.
    The D901c should support 8GB Ram
    Even if the proc in the D901c is not OC'able, itll sitll be better than anything the Toshiba will have.

    It depends Vedya ... what if the new Toshiba is a Montevina one and features quite a big selection of CPUs?
    I wouldn't count it out just yet.

    *awesome avy btw, just saw the Manbearpig episode today with my gf for the 5th time-rewatching all the series* :D

    When I upgrade my laptop a ~year from now...

    Latest 15.6" Clevo as a Sager
    WUXGA LED
    3.20 GHz Dual Core, 10MB L2, 1668MHz(?)
    4GB RAM also running at 1668MHz(?)
    128GB SSD, or 320GB 7200rpm
    nVidia 9600 GT 512MB or whatever the best sub-17" card is (M260 GT?)
    Blu-Ray (will be less than $200 at that time)
    Cost will be $2000-2200
    Known as the L960TU ("L" is Clevo's code letter for LCD)

    Think that's feasible?

    That system is pretty weak. Where is the 8GIG, where is the 9800GTX successor, where is the 1TB SSD drive? C'mon man! Think BIG! :D

    Not really. Have you looked at the Dell XPS 1730, or the Alienware m17x? Both have dual HD, SLI GPU's and they aren't that bulky. Don't get me wrong, I like the Clevo D901C as a desktop replacement. It is the KING! But portability wise, that thing is just too bulky and heavy to lug around on a daily basis.

    An offer you couldn't refuse, eh? :D If something like that comes along, you've just gotta take it - despite the haunted fever-dreams of some, the 1730 and the D901C are pretty closely matched overall - each has its particular strengths and weaknesses - so you're getting an awesome deal for $2,000, and you'd be a numbskull to turn it down.

    I remember FadeToBlack`s post about SLI ...you could get laid for 700$ and it`d be better.
    To twist the truth a bit, the world has both :p

    A year from now? I think my configuration is about accurate. What you're saying is more like two years from now!

    And eleron, yeah go for the Dell, but get a custom paint job or something.

    Or you could spend the money on SLI and get laid for free... just get married!

    Toshiba is just dangling a carrot in front of your impressionable face... so you don't go out and do something stupid, like buy a more reliable system with a better track record.
