    Were there any released pictures of the M860Tu other than the ones released at that convention? Seems like PCMW finally updated their pic and is showing the actual laptop. Looks pretty stylish.

    When you click the laptop for config, its the picture of the laptop with an astronaut instead of the previous laptop with the girl. Although this is my first time looking at it in weeks so i may be talking about old new.s

    I have some more pics, but NDA prevents me from showing you confidential stuff.

    Although I did slip one into the Clevo Guide... thats why you wont find that shot anywhere else on the net. ;)

    Sometimes when a person is "in the know" they can't afford to disclose too much, otherwise they won't be let in on secrets again. :)

    Thanks for pointing out the M860TU pics in the Clevo guide. I missed those before. Although the M860TU is a bit too small for my tastes, it sure is a cool looking machine. :D

    It is very nice. I wish the M570TU could have an option to look like this. It's much sleeker and less "gamy". Don't get me wrong, the current version (M570TU) looks nice and all but for a guy like me who'll use it primarily for work and some gaming this overall look and feel would be ideal.

    To bad I really want that 17 inch screen and that number pad. Darn numbers!

    I actually linked it in the Clevo Guide as well. :)

    Linky for the Lazy

    Those specs are accurate if you are wondering.

    Also the specs are in the User Manual that I included as well.

    I would expect it not to since the Sager 209x are Compals... not Clevo's.

    that is the original spec list, which is all true... except the 9800M GTX (which was discovered to work, but exceeded the thermal budget)

    its a tough one. i think they are both on par but just depends on what you prefer better. this m860tu looks stronger though.

    The m15x looks like an ugly rectangular block.

    This m860tu reminds me of a racing car for some reason. Is it because of the picture, nah, even without that, somehow it does.

    That backlit keyboard is very interesting and useful (not very useful, but useful) from my point of view. Kinda nice to entertain yourself by looking at some lights...from my point of view (again).
    But (and it all breaks down to this) the flashing lights also come with lots of problems, as some know, which will surely help the "serious" (sort of) 15" in this competition.
    Get it? :)
    All I'd like to see is a very decent selling price and that's it.

    in dollars, that would be about right. stuff bought in europe is ALWAYS more expensive. its not just mycizmo. look at anyone like rock or alienware and compare them to american builds. same laptop, higher price.

    sellers over here like to make some profit (i think they should and support the higher prices as i woould love to sell computers....... but since its cheaper elsewhere in us, i may get there, who knows)

    yes i did just contradict myself there
