I just found this website that's talking about a new model thats supposedly replacing the D901C in 2009. Just wanted to let you guys know, looks like it's going to be a big one! Can't post link so just google M98 NU for the website.
-
Do you mean replace this one?

I thought it was not that old.
It looks "shiny":

Fingerprints!(does look nice though)

IMO, I think 18.4 is too much. 17 inches at 1920x1200 would be ideal for gaming and I bet the screen would be maxxed at 1920x1080. It's intesting though how they plan on using a mobile quad core instead of a desktop chip this time around (according to the source). I also thought before reading the article that it was going to use an ATi chipset based on the name (M98 NU), but that's not the case.
-
We shall see....
In the meantime, there is a French-language site, portables4gamers.com that has a news item claiming to give some details of the supposed successor to the D901C, which google was kind enough to translate as follows: -
I remember M98NU is not replacement of D900C, there is a new D900X....
-
Got any more details?

I heard about this notebook recently.

Its more than likely a successor of the previous M590K/M590KE ... the 19/20" Clevo SLI beasts from before.

Mobile quad? You've got to be kidding... They are expansive and underpowered, why cannot there be i7, or even old desktop core 2 quad?
I suspect that there will still be D901 replacement with desktop quad, I just dont see this segment replacing the former, it could be clevo entering new markets in complement to the refresh of 901, who knows. -
Trust me.... i have been watching Clevo for a while now, I see the pattern.
Clevo is hitting the market like they did a couple of generations ago.
- one Dxxx series : with desktop CPU & high-end videocard
..... before: D900T/K
..... now: D900C/D901C
- one Mxxx series : 17" with high-end videocard
..... before: M570A/M570U
..... now: M570RU/M570TU/M570ETU
- one Mxxx series : 15" with high-end videocard
..... before: M560A
..... now: M860TU
- one Mxxx series : ~19"+ with high-end videocard
..... before: M590K/M590KE
..... now: M98xNU
Makes sense, doesn't it... -
Perhaps I should register that domain name now, before it becomes a hot property!
-
If I wanted an 18.4 inch laptop with only a QX9300, I'd get an HP HDX 18.
Where's my new i7 laptop it? That's directed to you Clevo and OCZ! -
^yeah,good lluck getting HDX with a quality and "high end" GPU of Sager in HDX
It is too early for i7 -
Seriously though, for me it is worth waiting for the i7 even if it is next christmas. This laptop is nice, but i agree that there isnt anything really new about it to get excited about. Already existing video card, existing screen size, existing processor....show me something that makes me see the value in upgrading from my current 17" SLI monster -
-
I'm afraid that the benefits of having multiplier in the BIOS won't outweigh the costs related to upgrading to a new machine, unless off course you've got enough $$$ to spent.
-
sorry.... all that benifit/cost/do i need/bang for buck and all them other safety net sayings don't apply to me. if i see it and i want it..i get it. not going to rationalize it nor down size it. if i feel it will get the jobs done i need it to get done. then im all for it. but if they unlocked this bios. then i wouldn't even consider it for 6 months or so. or if they updated the bios to support 1600 mhz (speculation) then all the more better for me.
-
I am like that too but the problem is that I am self-employed and my accountant won't appreciate it me buying every 6 months a new notebook
-
All this means is that the future of the D9XX Series is gonna be very good. Go Clevo!
-
that's if you take care of it to begin with..
you wont get what you paid, but you will put a nice dent in that shinny new purchase!
-
they may be making room for the.....drumm rolllllllllllllllllll.......dual gpu on a single card! wooohoooo!
yeah right...*LOL* -
im thinking that's exactly why they went with the mobile quad. so they could unlock the multiplier & and get better battery life. all add hearing to the "thermal budget"
(that gets me every time i say it) with that low of a wattage output, it would allow for cpu over clocking. now if they lock it, then sales will drop lower than they already are...

man this thing should have offered crossfire as well...thats sucks well i think ill wait until this thing gets a GTX 280 before i make my move.

Also, it still comes down to NVidia providing GPUs that can be used in that fashion - unless NVidia says "ok" and provides the GPU card that will do it (NVidia has started doing a lot more of the manufacturing in-house, which is why the earlier NP962x seriers had to get a motherboard upgrade in order to support two 8800M GTXs in SLi - because NVidia wasn't going to build into the cards support for the industry standard method of providing the GPUs EDID data for EDID-less display units). If NVidia has not yet told notebook ODMs that they can use the cards in 3-way SLi, then they cannot be used that way (requires licensing of the underlying intellectual property for the contemplated use). -
-
>.> I don't see what the point is of 3 way sli especially with more and more x2 gpu's being made for desktops.
-
If someone wants to impress me with an HD screen gaming laptop then they'd find a way to squeeze dual dedicated GPUs into a 16".
Maybe when an x2 mobile card finally comes out. -
Red_Dragon Notebook Nobel Laureate
im sill waiting for a decent gpu in in 16" as well haha it may be a better choice if they can make it as powerful as an 18: though that probably isnt gonna happen i wonder how come dell doesnt have 18" or 16" notebooks......they had the 16"dell studio xps but that thing looks like its as good as dead.
-
I'm pretty sure you are looking at the replacement for the M590KE. I can't foresee this replacing the D901C with those specs. I remember, I was quite displeased when Clevo phased-out the M590KE, so I'm definitely looking forward to the release of this notebook.
It looks quite amazing, as usual. -
NGFF:
if they run an on board gpu with two mxm vga cards...then tri sli might be in the making... two high powered cards with one lessor card which can double as a hybrid sli or when plugged in..full power sli..(speculation of course) -
Actually, yes, you ought to love capitalism; without it, you'd not have a laptop, period. If you were really lucky, the commissar might let you get a few minutes of time on the 60-year-old ENIAC that'd still be the "community's" only computing resource. -
What's more, just because one possibly can, doesn't mean that they possibly should. There's thermal and power constraints that must also be considered. -
Unless there is a 300w+ PSU for notebooks, we won't be seeing any tri-SLI notebooks for a while...
edit: make that tri-SLi with 3x 256 bit high end GPUs as the Toshiba Qosmio technically has Tri-SLi -
so to answer you question ngff. notebooks can run tri_sli.
now getting three highend cards in there is a whole another matter... -
-
and the plot thickens...
, i hate when i have to go look things up....

http://www.zimbio.com/Laptop+Reviews/articles/9896/New+Toshiba+Qosmio+X305+Gaming+Notebooks+Use
it does int fact run tri sli (according to these people)
ok, works for me. per Rahul and NGFF: does not run tri sli. another one of someones marketing gimicks. -
Did you have to post 3 times?
-
-
-
so when is this monster of a laptop going to be available and for how much will it cost ???
-
Hmm...
MCP79 would mean it would not be nehalem, which is what I'm wanting. However, a high end nVidia chipset will allow far more enthusiast features when compared to an intel chipset. That is always good new there. -
how about this....does hybrid-sli work on the macbook pro? in terms of adding performance during gaming while plugged into the wall?
-
^no,it doesnt work...yet...
-
TRi SLi will be unreasonable for the laptop, it would just add more and more weight.
My money is on quad actually, more likely a dual x2...either Crossfire or SLI.IF you`re looking for extreme performance.
However,most likely it will be a crossfire 4870/dual 9800M GTX... -
It's pretty schisty that nVidia uses the term Hybrid-SLi as a blanket to cover both the Hybrid Power and Geforce Boost features even though GeForce Boost isn't supported by the faster cards.
Notebook manufacturers and even reviewers also seem fine using "Hybrid-SLi" instead of differentiating between the two features which doesn't help at all.
