    Be at Peace my friend, it should ship in plenty of time to get there (where ever there is) by August 15th...although depending on where there is you may have to use expedited shipping.

    No, what I said was "...it should ship in plenty of time..."

    I could have said it probably will ship in plenty of time...or it most likely will ship in plenty of time...but of course nothing is for sure until the UPS label goes on it.

    This of course only applies to the M570TU

    of course, sorry, didn't mean to twist your words. And I understand that this is only for the m570TU which i'm more than halfway considering now.

    Does anyone know if the M570tu will feature the Mobility radeon 3870 as an option?

    As I mostly play strategy and rpgs Im looking for ways to save some money :)

    Alienwarez, you can believe what mycizmo says about as much as you can believe what PCMW says...neither are very reliable.

    There is not necessarily any connection between the ship dates of the M570TU and the M860TU, and at this time no one really knows for sure exactly what video cards will be available with each model.

    The TU and RU are "pretty much" the same laptop...but not.
    Seems to be there`s low-level differences ...that might not help the old RU-x into getting the 98M GTX...

    paladin are those shots, i'm assuming cgi, of the m570tu on the mycizmo page the real thing? Looks like its got some pretty tiny vents. But if it comes in the black version I want it!

    I can't really tell since I haven't seen any pictures yet from Clevo. However I agree that the venting looks like it is going backward in that they are much smaller.

    The 320GB 7,200 RPM and the 500GB 5,400 RPM drives are not in the Channel yet, but I expect to see them very shortly.

    I agree with Donald. The picture of the underside of the chassis is quite blatently CGI.

    Their 860TU "photographs" are even worse. They have been there for about 4weeks now, well before any companies even got a sniff at a sample chassis. Also notice that their main banner now says "Centrino 2" rather than Montevina which is now more hidden in the smaller text..........

    I find it most interesting that they would offer the echo peak networking option and not the 9800 gtx. weird.
