Well it looks like PCMW is advertising a "impulse 14.1" laptop that's capable of handling the oh so hot x9000. Is this even possible on a 14.1 or are they messing with us?
Anybody else heard about this laptop platform? Anybody know if the 8600gt card they are gonna stick in it is ddr3?
Thanks!

Do you have a link? I doubt there's a 14" notebook out there that can actually use an x9000.

This one apparantly can, and its out. Whoever orders it, give us a review.
Now, I definitely know they received the 320GB 7200rpm hard drive. It's listed as a **NEW** component to add in this configuration. -
What platform (Clevo model) is this based off of? Are there any similar laptops out there that we can compare this to? I'm obviously new to Clevo.

That 320 7200rpm HD is going to be hotter than the sun.
-
yea what is the original model number??
-
This laptop is not a Clevo, I can't remember the brand offhand but it was discussed before. If you check a few pages back on the forums, you should see a forum about it, I believe it was titled 'A NEW CLEVO?' -
I am sure it's not clevo.
-
found it!!!!

Hmmm, I don't know but imo even if it's possible to use an x9000 in this laptop, I wouldn't do it. I honestly doubt that the cooling system can keep up with that processor when running intensive apps or gaming. It might also significantly shorten the lifespan of this notebook. There's a reason why not many laptops offer this processor as an option.

I thought my xps was good& cheap, but not it sucks
anybody want to buy my xps >.< -
Lol, after you bash it like that.
Man, want to sell my Toshiba one time? lol.
Based on the review and the specs PCMW is putting in this thing, sounds like they are heavily modifying it. Anyone ordered it already? -
The X9000 is not that hot as people might think, it actually runs cooler than my T7500.
-
yeah, but you overcloc EVERYTHING dont you
-
As posted earlier, that's nothing new, just a budget notebook being sold by Zepto for some time now, the card was DDR2, and it was reviewed here:

Not much , I can tell you that.
So stock T7500 runs MUCH HOTTER than X9000. -
Well look at that. You learn something new everyday.
More powerful does not mean hotter. As we seem to understand with the 9800GTX -
Well, you have to take into consideration that the X9000 is a 45nm CPU , whereas my T7500 is a 65 nm one, ancient stuff here
-
I would not reccomend getting this. This lappy is known to have MANY heating probs.
-
Not just that , but an X9000 with a 8600M GT? what a waste!
-
Yeah the 8600 would be a bottleneck. Unless you're into heavy video editing (high-def etc.) or CAD work, I suggest to stick with good mid-range processor like the t8300 or the t9300.
-
I think T8300 and T9300 belongs to mid-high
-
-
Well, considering you're running at 3.2 MHz I'm not surprised it's cool, mine's running at 3.2 GHz...
-
lol smart ass!

Had to be said

PCMicroworks "Impulse" laptop - X9000 + 8600GT?
