    Well, I got notice that my M570RU is being shipped today and should arrive on Monday. I plan on posting a review and benchmarks, hopefully on New Year's day. Is there anything anyone would like me to look at in particular?

    Build quality in particular. I'm interested in robustness and paint job. Damn, I really want some pictures of it. White or orange?

    I'll have plenty of pictures, that I can assure you :D

    I went with orange.

    Build quality will definitely be in the review as this is my first Clevo unit.

    Grats on your system!!!

    I am sure there will be a few newer games and such played on there. I am interested in Quake Wars enemy territory myself if you can do the demo or own it. HellGate London would be interesting too. Just a couple of thoughts.

    Also, could you take some comparison shots with maybe another laptop next to it? Also, how loud it is, and how much battery life? Thanks, I would appreciate it :D

    Gratz. I just got a Sager NP5791 about 2 weeks ago and have been very happy with it's capabilities but I keep getting system errors. Pretty soon it's going back to Xotic so they can fix it or something.

    Hopefully your Clevo won't suffer from the issues my rebranded Clevo suffers from.

    bhd1223, I would recommend calling Xoticpc's 24/7/364 telephone tech support for help with your system errors.

    It could be as simple as conflicts between your VISTA 64bit OS and the applications you are running. You may want to consider installing the 32bit version since you have the media and Product Key for it.

    Yeah I ordered mine from Eurocom too and John said (on Monday) they would be getting the units this week (8800m) and that they would ship the 27th/28th, but I haven't heard from john since then and I haven't received any shipping quotes/email. Im not sure if they are on vacation still or what. :confused:

    No i did call because John and I have been mainly using email to keep me informed, but I havent from him (probably Holiday rush) in a while. I have never done business with them before so is it their practice to call you to verify shipping, etc.?

    i'm not sure, this is the first time i've dealt with them. i think they called me to verify because i was shipping via my own fedex account.

    ^ I called them about 30minutes ago and the recording said they were out for the Holidays, so I doubt they shipped mine yet. Guess I will have to wait until the end of next week when they get back. :(

    I have no idea where you got your information but they decide this year to take holiday vacation... and they should start sending the 4th jan... at least thats what he told me last time... im still waiting for a reply.. they didnt send me a confirmation, or took money from my credit card, or called me...

    Anyway... its not a week that will make a difference, i have been waiting since the annoncement of the 8800m gtx...
