    Aurora is the name that's on the laptop in those pictures. Personally, I think the Aurora text looks sweet, I hope resellers keep it lol

    Each reseller will name it differently which is evident on all clevo models that is out.

    offtopic: has anyone noticed the mtech version of the m860tu is displayed at 1.6 inches thick while the pcmw edge is stated at being only 1.2?

    Ontopic: looks alright imho. Still fretting over whether to get this or studio 17

    depends on what you need, the m860tu would be more powerful whereas the studio 17 would have a bigger screen and storage :) but if i were you i would go for the m860tu for sure

    and as for the thickness of the system, i think pcmw might be measuring the 1.2inches at the bottom of the laptop whereas mtech are measuring it from the top, thats just my guess tho

    Would you look at the size of the vent on the back of that thing? Man....

    Well if its at all possible to get this thing in Canada for roughly $2100 with the T9300 and 9800 GTS then I'll go for it...

    Don't be confused by the impossible. What Nirvana means is the T9300 is not for this chipset and the 9800GTS is not for certain going to be available for this laptop.

    But as for price you should be able to get better processor and GPU for under $2100 if PCMW is any kind of indicator.

    It might be possible. Heck with price match and all this should prove to be an interesting battle of prices.

    Right I forgot that they're not going to bother trying to put the high wattage processors into this thing (Duh, sticky thread...).

    Does anybody knows how the HD 3870 performs relative to the NVidia cards? I really want to get the M860 if at all possible, but I can't wait forever.

    Yes but previous times like these show that even though ATI cards have shown to have a bit more better in benchmarks, when it comes to games and smoothness Nvidia usually wins
