    Wow!!!!
    Great work as always Gophn!
    All these notebooks look really,really good.
    With great competition coming from the OCZ Whitebook Clevo is putting out some awesome new products,even the netbooks look good, but back to the cream of the crop the successor to the D901C, in my humble opinion they will support the new i7 core chips(crossing fingers.xx) and hopefully have a backlite keyboard also.The king is dead...long live the king!

    i sure hope not. if they cant get drivers for the 3870's now, then that would be another disaster waiting to happen. and they are over in the ocz section about to kill them ocz reps if their driver prediction doesn't come through by the end of the week sunday. (even though they (ocz) have no control over the initial release of the drivers) (new mobile 8.12's from ati)

    now if it comes with the new drivers, then by all means...bring in the 4800's, but with a choice... :)

    The new ATI mobility's are really promising, but the lack of driver support from ATI or OCZ is really poor. The OCZ crowd is ready to take up arms over it. Hopefully this will be addressed soon and with more consistency as the 4xxx mobility series begins to roll out.

    Where is the information that states the next Clevo D900 will have those ports? I looked through this thread and can't find it. :confused:

    If it will use desktop Core i7 processors and LED backlit screen, that is the ultimate notebook which I can never afford. :)

    nothing fully confirmed about the final chassis design, but the options for HDMI and e-SATA are standardized now in the Clevo gaming notebooks.

    well...that cute small stuff was cool before, but now im all about big. i have to view the screen like a big screen :D

    i sure hope it looks something like the picture posted and they go ahead and revise the keyboard with a lighted one, since it's on a mobile platform now.

    The M980NU is huge!
    It truly is a desktop replacement, very nice and love it's shape and looks but I would love to see what the D90XF is going to look like.

    Man oh man, with the recent announcement of Intel adding the Lucid Hydra chip into their line of X58 mobos, I hope it'll be included in the D0xF. But before that, I hope Clevo's new Intel chipset will be the X58...with Hydra.

    It would make a lot of sense too. They won't have to jerry rig something up to support SLI or Crossfire. Just let the little chip do all the work!

    Plus linear scaling! And mix and match cards! Would be great for upgraders.

    I hope the D90xF keyboard has a proper numeric keypad (4 columns) like the M980NU appears to have.

    I dunno about the rest of y'all, but I just hope the thing comes with a built-in beer tap - those long sessions can get thirst-inducing! ;)

    if you read the post and Notes in the article, you will know that "Launch Date" does NOT mean it will be for customers.... only its debut.

    Customers will not be able to order and get it until 8-10 months from now.... so if you are willing to wait that long... go for it.

    FYI, if you Google "CeBIT" you know that it happens in March every year.

    I knew about the Cebit dates, but wasn't sure about the M98 order dates. Thanks for the clarification--8-10 months from now :eek: Yikes!

    Cant wait to see clevo notebooks with led screen. Imagine the 15.4 with a matte wxga+ screen or the 17 with matte wuxga led... would be so sweet. glossy led would be sweet too, but matte led is just glory for me.

    Ha Ha, then have a Spigot for a quick drink when away.
    O and make it interchangeable, so you can have a cold soda when working with Linux, but for Windows a beer..for those long irritating nights :D

    Lol next way around brother. You'd need the beer for Linux. I wouldn't touch that OS with a ten foot pole. Absolutely no benefits over windows vista. I don't know why people torture themselves.

    The soda spigot would have to be for the linux vets - for my sake, I know (from personal experience) that I'd need a nice little valium drip for linux until I got enough time on it that I had a "feel" for it; after that, I could switch to the soda feed. :D

    I think for .Windows I might need to supplement the beer line with both a valium drip for when things get really frustrating (e.g., trying to get the access permissions on my mother-in-law's computer reset properly so I can finally get SP3 to install properly), and maybe a Jack Daniels line for when the frustration finally burns out and leaves the ashes of jaded resignation behind. :D

    For general purposes, tho, like quittin' time, I think the beer tap should be standard, with a variety of customizable options for any/all of the above. :D

    Its going to be a high-end netbook/tablet ... which is like an oxymoron if you think about it. :)

    sorry, no need info... hopefully Sager or other North American vendors will carry it.

    So I presume its single touch, not multitouch, right?

    And what do you mean by high end :D? Maybe a Z540 *crosses fingers*

    Last Question; Do you think the TN70 will be shipping by April?
