fine!I did a little checking and found out that the 6200 series processors are Interlagos.

[citation][nom]NuclearShadow[/nom]Ouch, I was not expecting Nvidia to dominate by that much at 1920x1080 when it came to SLI VS Crossfire. That is quite a shocker.[/citation]Yeh, everyone was a little surprised by the margin. Especially since Eurocom sent this notebook to highlight AMD's graphics cards.
 
People,people,people! Most of you have absolutely no clue what your talking about. All this "I game perfectly fine on my XXXX with XXXX on medium settings" is getting annoying. Your not gaming your wasting time. You better off playing facebook or other flash based games. The whole point is to be able to max out everything and still have your pc not break a sweat. As for mobility most laptop users I see plug their laptop in before even powering it on. If Clevo came out with a 22" laptop rocking Triple 580m SLI or ATI equivalent, I along with millions of other gamers would be more then pleased to haul that crap around with a smile on our face. This whole smaller is better thing is for the birds, its not to different then bringing your cockpit sized desktop setup to a friends house to LAN it up for the weekend. This article is geared towards gamers. No one cares that you play pong on your netbook at 800x600.
 
aaron88_7 your logic is horribly flawed. The only gaming experience your going to get with a far cheaper laptop is lag.
 
A monitor + ViDock + Nvidia GTX 590 = Best gaming laptop in the world. Only hardcore gamers carry monitors around anyway so its a well kept secret the laptop gaming world.

[citation][nom]K2N hater[/nom]Bet the other components such as HDD/SSD, optical drive, audio and keyboard are the same as the ones shipped on notebooks worth less than 1000 bucks.[/citation]If you can show me a sub-$1000 anything, even a cardboard box, with three 250GB Intel 510's, I'm buying NOW!
 
Actually, this is the sort of laptop I own, but not for gaming purposes (though that's a nice benefit). I have one because of the CPU power and HDD / SSD bays- I/O and easy drive reconfigurations make this a very capable network sniffer, pen tester, etc.
 
AMD Radeon HD 6990M vs nVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M whixh one is better
 
this laptop looks so ugly compared to the beastly Alienware m18x. Im running dual Nvidia 580M GTX on it and makes games look so good.
 
I just put some money down for a P150HM sporting a 6990m. Sure the GTX580m out-performs it somewhat, but it would've cost me almost $300 make the upgrade. When you consider that the game performance difference at 1920x1080 is only about 5%, that is definitely not worth it. nVidia makes decent cards but they need to get off their high horse and start pricing their products more logically.
 
To the 'OMG it's 7k!!!' people...

I took the TL;DR approach to this article but from what I gathered, the reason they built (overbuilt) this machine was to eliminate all potential bottlenecks so the GPU's could be more accurately benchmarked. But perhaps I missed something.

I don't understand how you people could come to a site like this and not marvel at a spectacular piece of tech.
