    Again and again no backlit keyboard what idiots why cause the screen is bright enough for godsake will these people ever learn? Even sony has them on theres. But i am happy that this machine looks a lot like the G73JH and more updated looks so sexy happy to see they also took the x8100 design in total. Also finally they made the option to fix up their bios and take in consideration to overclock the machine, hopefully they do this now for the D900F also.

    There is nothing to explain except the 300w must be for the non SLI, XF configuration. A 400w is needed for a decked out one of these. It will come soon in the specs I beleive.

    Thanks for the insightful post babyhemi :)

    The changes from the w870cu to w880cu as I can see it are the power up button (now from hinges like w860 and multi gesture? (not sure if w870cu capable of multi gesture or not) and of course the size a bit thick.

    I'll pay attention to how much x7200 starting price at :p

    Granted, the x7200 might not be as pretty and as keyboard illuminated as lets say the Alienware m17x but it's specs are sort of jaw dropping. All we need next are some high res pictures.

    Another question is what cooling does it have? I doubt this beast is air-cooled. :err:

    Guys , this will never happen omg !!!

    There will be no 400W version of X7200 EVER! You can CF HD5870 with 130W CPU and it WILL WORK. It might work with GTX 480M SLI + 80W/95W CPU but only time will tell us. Dont even think about new 400W A/C this is absolutelly bull****.

    Those are max TDP specs but with good OC'ing options you should be able to surpass those numbers. Plus these power supplies still go above there rating. I hit 174W on my 150W G73 PS. With that said it will limit the real high OC settings but I bet Clevo is banking on that.

    Yes 300W PSU can deliver 330W without problems.

    Actually it's true, PSU are under-rated most of the time.

    I wonder if the 300W PSU will fit the W88. I would like to have more than 180W, for overclocking.

    It's not bull, I know 400w are under development. What I am saying is these specs are preliminary. If a higher output PSU is needed Clevo will supply it. No bull...

    I wonder why there's a W880 and a W881.

    Is that a difference in color I see?

    Yes, the last number on the model code represents color or aesthetic differences... its in the Clevo guide.

    I don't know if it's just the photo quality or lighting, but the 880 looks a deeper black, while the 881 has a more matte finish.

    881 is gun-metal perhaps?

    Just noticed that a Norwegian store has the W880 up on their website:

    MULTICOM / Systemkonfigurator

    Not much news I guess, as for example kobalt has had it up for quite a while :p

    They state: "Multicom Kunshan W880 er lik W870, men har en kraftigere strømforsyning pga et kraftigere skjermkort."

    Translated: "Multicom Kunshan W880 is similar to the W870, but has a more powerful psu because of a stronger gpu"

    Presumably, it was added when they updated with 480M. However, at one point we were told that the x8100 would not get 5870s as a "business decision." Whether that was supposedly clevo or sager at the time, I'm not sure.
