    That would be the MOST POWERFUL 14inch NB. Other than an ASUS f8 which it is equal to, but if it is made by clevo, then its build will be far superior to that of the ASUS

    What is the point in having an X9000 when it only has an 8600m? You just wouldn't be able to take advatage of its power.

    It's not Clevo! It's the same ODM that Zepto uses... check the Zepto offerings... there's the exact same laptop by another name, similar price. :)

    Hmmm, ugh, so appealing....must stay strong!

    I hope to god XoticPC has a decent price on the m860tu. I am turned off by the rise in price at Eurocom. Seems like a daily thing.

    The Zepto model of this notebook is 6224w. If you read the forums, you'll find out that this notebook overheats and randomly shuts down. These are the consequences of having a desktop processor in a 14 inch notebook. You might as well get a 17 inch. The platform is much larger and therefore, the heat is managed much better.

    I'd rather spend the extra bucks and get a decent Clevo M860TU.

    Interesting. I really do not like the look of the speakers underneath the display though.
