X7200 Pre-sale price is here!

I guess it would be veyr effcient, if it is supported by drivers, to have a veyr powerful (and cheaper) ATI for the game and a weeker nvidia for the physX. This way you get the best of the two brands.

P

 

When august is over the core i7 950 is gonna get a price cut, thus replacing the 930.

Looks like that will be the cpu to get in the x7200.

 

Will it be possible to order a x7200 barebones with no gfx card. Then just install one yourself?

 

If it is like barebones on the rest of Clevo models, then it would come with at least one video card. Then you could upgrade from there...

 

Yeah im sure it will come default with one card and honestly the cost of the cards after the fact is not to great compared to getting them with the machine...

If they offer 5870s in Xfire they will have to be different cards since the current ones have no Xfire connector so those could be priced a little different as well...

Seeing as the lowest you can get a single 480m is just shy of $900.00 for a single card its going to be much smarter to try and get the GPUs right then and there ...

 

This has probably been explained but I haven't seen anything looking through the thread but besides the 16:10 screen & extra I/O ports, whats the difference between the d900f and the x7200?

 

X7200 can have 2 GPU, D900F only 1.

 

x7200 will come with usb 3.0, d900f has usb 2.0(but u can add an express card with usb 3.0 to it), the graphic option was already mentioned and displays are 16:10 and 16:9, and my opinion is that x7200 will have a better design of chasis, maybe a better keyboard to work on it.

 

The differences are:
1)2 GPU slots.
2)1920x1080 screen instead of 1200p, possibly a 1080 rgb led screen.
3)2xusb 3.0 slots.
4)HDMI IN
5)Fingerprint reader
6)All 3hdd slots are 12.5mm compatible as compared to standard 9.5mm in d900f, so you can add 3x1TB wester digital blue, even 4 of them if you intall the 4th in the ODD (optical drive bay)
7)More expensive.

This pretty much covers it.
It's basicaly a combination of d900f and x8100 with usb 3.0, and 12.5mm hdd space, and possibly improved cooling for GPUs, to accomodate 480m SLI.

To sum it up, its the buggati veyron of laptops. The only difference, is, you can't have the veyron, but the x7200 you can, because of the price.

Now we wait for a cheaper, non extrem edition of a hexacore CPU, maybe a slash in price for ram, the 3rd edition Intel SSDs, and we wait for intel engineers to implement the trim command to a raid array.

That will make the x7200 complete.

 

i keep on drolling whenever i look at this thread, cant wait to get this on my hand

 

I have two 12.5mm IDE hard drives in my desktop now. Will I be able to use them in the x7200 to save some cash?

 

No, only SATA drivers.

 

Kind of a noob question but since the x7200 has a intel x58. Can't you just slap any desktop pci video card in?

 

No it does not work that way, though it would be nice if it did ...

Not sure if you have seen a desktop card lately but they are HUGE...

 

They are not really that huge, it's just that their heatsinks are all HUGE.

 

Even with the heatsinks off the Cards themselves are almost the width of the laptop so im not sure how you cannot think that is huge ? That is of course in comparison to a laptop...

 

I assume its the same deal with the RAM?

 

Nevermind the power draw the desktop cards voraciously consume, yowza.

 

Yeah, desktops use standard DIMM's and laptops use SODIMM's (Small Outline DIMM)

 

If only they make something like a SLI notebook, that can slot in a desktop GPU, with the space for 2 notebook GPUs changed into space for one single desktop GPU with DIMM, that would seriously pwn.

 

They did come with something like that. It becomes a "all-in-one" computer. Smaller than a desktop yet too big for laptop,

 

Any chance in the x7200 being offered with 460m and/or 460m sli ?

 

Geforce 430m:
96 Cores
Graphics Clock 560
Processor Clock 1120 (i believe this is the shader clock)
Memory Clock 800 Mhz (1600 mhz data rate)
560/1120/800Mhz clocks
1Gb DDR3 on a 128bit bus

Geforce 460m
192 Cores
Graphics Clock 675
Processor Clock 1350 (i believe this is the shader clock)
Memory Clock 1250 Mhz (2500 mhz data rate)
675/1350/1250Mhz clocks
1.5Gb DDR5 on a 192bit bus

Probably when these parts will be out, prices will drop, and maybe a 460m SLI in the x7200 will be an option, if the 480 will still be to pricey.

How much 3dmark 2006 you guys think these gpu will push with a, say, core i7 950 ?

 

Where did you get the numbers?

 

Any idea when we'll see this thing come out?

 

Msi laptops with these cards have surfaced at computex, and someone went to see the details of the "new geforce gpu" inside. I think 460m should have a performance similar to 280m/285m. 2 of these are gonna do better than a 480m, and hopefully will be cheaper.

But if nvidia is gonna keep it's insane prices, i don't know if 2 460m are gonna be cheaper than a 480m.

Since 5870m is actually cheaper than a 285m, a believe a 480m should be the price of the 285m, and 285m and 460m should all be the same price and below that of the 5870.
5hat would be normal, but i don't think it will hapen.

 

Probably old information, but...

Clevo X7200 GTX 480M SLI ... 17.3" laptop with extraordinary performance powered by Intel Core i7 processor and Dual nVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M (Fermi) techno ...

 

i keep hearing "overclocking" i doubt it will have any cpu overclock-ability

 

D900F or D901F, im not really sure about the name, has CPU overclock-ability with 980X. I`ve seen up to 3.8ghz on each core here on the forum. So the successor should have the same potential.

 

The 980x's run pretty cool, to be fair. It's because of their manufacturing process.

 

Yah, it's the only desktop i7 built using the 32nm manufacturing process. Hopefully intel will give us a another 32nm, lower clock, lower price, non extreme edition, hexacore chip, in this autum. I know i read that somewhere...

 

nice laptop, kind of like a 8690. I have a desktop processor in my alienware lappy, an older one. They work out very well in laptops! ITs a 3.2 p4 with HT desktop processor. Never had any trouble with it and its always powered my system exceptionally well. Since I cant get to the mobo on this sytem Iv never been able to change the paste on it, and it was made in 2004. Still chuggs along though like when I first got it.
Getting a system like this would last for a good while mechaniclly I would gather. The build make up is very flush, very sleek. I cant imagine what having one of these would be like decked out with win7 ultimate and linux as a secondary operating systems. I know it would be fun!

 

this laptop really wouldn't be all that expensive for the people who have most of the parts.
you only need to buy the base with vga's/120 hz screen /wifi+bluetooth (if you dont have it already).
i7-980x are constantly on sale at frys for $776.00 retail/3 years warranty
if you have an extra cpu/ram/ssd/hdd's laying around..they can go in there.

these are machines that can be custom built by "you"
and if that is the case...then the 480m's dont seem so much out of the ballpark anymore..(for the ones concerned about how much they cost)
this machine can be fully speck'd without paying full price.

no way in hell im paying no 13k when i have most of the parts already...

if i was rich....well...i would buy 2. lol

 

Not all of us have parts lying all over the place. But, hopefully we will be able to get the x7200 with the 3.2ghz, core i7 970, hexacore cpu, which is gonna end up cheaper than 980x.

 

that's a given. it was meant for people who do have.

 

Man, the 970 i7 cpu is still expensive, i hope the price will go down a bit, when intel drops the price of the 950 (intel plans to drop the price of the 950 to 930 levels, thus replacing the 930 with the 950).

It would be awsome if we can have then the 970, for the price the 950 is now.

 

better catch a 980x on sale at frys for 776.00 then.

 

How do you get the discount there? The only price is see is this

 

The actual Fry's store always has discounts. You have to look in their flier. I used to live near one when I lived in Davis. Now it's a 1+ hour drive

 

My Fry's store has this $776.00 price from time to time. Of course you must pay sales tax for it which brings it up to about $846.00. Still a great deal.

 

To bad i live in romania and here the price for the 980x is 1395 USD
Talk about theft

 

With bing cashback, you can get one from eBay for around $830.

 

Yeh, but only within the next 35 minutes or so.

 

True. So what are you still doing here? Hurry up get to eBay.

 

sorry, no sales tax here...776.00 out the door.
and it's 843.90 in orange county.

 

If i could get me a system from ava direct it could save me a great deal of money.
3466 USD gets me now, core i7 930, gtx 480m, 6gb ram, crucial real ssd 128gb,2x1TB hdd, bluray reader, and intel wireless 6300. No OS.

Still waiting for the x7200, to see how the prices compare.

 

X7200 pricing is already on www.x7200.com

 

Yeah, I was beginning to think something happened to Eurocom - usually they are here by now with the pre-order, hehe. Nice try. I wanna see this system on XoticPC available for "normal" ordering. Then we'll know for sure when it's really available and what's the real price. Though I think that a dual 480M config will cost about 1-1.5k less in the US

 

I stopped by Sager 2 days ago to buy a 8120 and hoped they had a X7200 I could look at no luck

 

Stopped by? Do they have a showroom/store?
