    When will there be a refresh of the 5793? The 5794 most likely. I know the 9262 has no consumer forseeable refresh timeline. What about its fellow 17" design

    The m570tu I'm guessing. That's coming out next month.

    Changes would be: Montevina Processor (and any benefits that come with it), addition of HDMI and E-SATA outputs.

    My god. It has a name.

    Always wondered though, based on numbers, the NP8660 sounds higher in tech than the NP5796. 15" chassis deserve a higher number for some reason?

    This just got me so excited. Is this info reputable or on the scale of the M860TU's "it supports what?!?!?!?" Fiasco...which is actually still in progress

    I got about four grand for my grad party and man I cant wait to invest it in a Clevo. Its gonna feel like heaven. Im on an old Inspiron 6000 Pentium M dothan. the sweet is always sweeter when you have alot of sour :)

    M860TU = NP8660
    M570TU = NP579x (definitely not 4...could be 6, we'll have to wait and see)

    See the resemblance?

    Montevina chipset and processor (1066FSB and DDR3/1066 system memory), Intel 5300 WiFi, HDMI and eSATA ports...video cards to be announced.

    Ship date...yet to be determined but pre-orders should begin on July 15th.

    That you can take to the bank ;)

    We certainly hope to, and expect to...but the card situation is a little funky right now, so let's wait and see. Fortunately it is only a few weeks...

    Sorry I kind of messed that statement up. I was referring to the ongoing thread about the 860TU. Seems as if its still up in the air as to whether it will support it at all. :)

    Didnt know it was a sure thing the refresh of the 5793 would

    Since I don't game and don't want to throw money on a high end card I'm interested in something like a 9600M GT or 9800M GTS. Are those to be expected in the 8660?

    they are supposed to have all the parts in on the 15th, so all they need to do is build them and send them to you. so whatever amount of time that takes.

    I was originally going to buy a M15x, even after i bought the sager i had thoughts about it but.. the idea of having CPU temps hit 60 and GPU up to 90 which is "normal" for the m15x i figured that thing would be pretty fragile and be worn out a lot quicker than the 5793. Especially since it will be moving around alot.

    Funny you mentioning the PS3...it seems I can find the old (better) 60GB PS3 at around 1000$ in some anonymous shop. Idiots...
    The normal one is around 500-600$ here...
    To keep a 15" note...I was thinking about the M15x, then converted the Euros into RON and just gave up on the idea (+ reading about all the horror stories people were put through). I can't afford wasting time with a machine that's great, but might break down often (as I live far away from Ireland or wherever they fix them and they might even refuse to collect & return it where I live). And I think you should all think about the difference between the M15x and the 5793 before comparing the smaller apple with the bigger apple.
    I'm very much interested in the new Clevo line (especially the 15" model) and finally we'll all see what's what when they're reviewed.
