WOW. just...WOW. But I would rather wait until there is dual core worth getting or the ati r520 in the notebook. this will be just as strong as any desktop sans the SLI rigs.

Yes, this is the Clevo D900k. This will be available from all Clevo OEMs as soon as they actually complete the specs on this notebook. Until this notebook is finalized there win't be a news annoucement from Sager w/ specs.

As a side note, their headline:

Is a bit on the mis leading side since they have not yet started shipping this notebook, typically Sager is the 1st to start shipping new Clevo models for that matter.

LOL...sounds like when Eurocom keeps releasing "ship dates" for notebooks for which specs haven't been finalized, and having to change the specs several times prior to actual shipment...

I remember Eurocomm announcing their socket-939 notebook last year.

It's almost been a permanent fixture of their "Future Models"!

Doh!! And I just ordered my 9880, but it hasn't shipped yet so when do you think it will be out? In the next couple of weeks? This is the notebook I have been waiting for! If it will be out in the first week of July I would like to put my order on hold (well it kind of already is) and wait for it . . . decisions decisions

I don't think it'll be that long, but it won't be next month either.

For those making decisions, just wait as long as you can, then buy when you have to.

well, pics of this system have been floating around since march. Gossip was started last year in the fall. Like with all technology: since this MIGHT be the final specs,it wont go into mass production status and reach a distribution level for another 4-6 months.

Thats if it doesnt get canned.......so it can be upgraded to a next gen vcard.

As far as the price, it should be relatively higher in comparison to a top of the line dtr of now. After all it will be the only amd dtr available.

I don't see it costing much, if any, more than the top of the line 9880, the FX55 is cheaper than the 670, and unless the ATI card is more expensive than the Ultra there really is not much more differance (unless I missed something??)

This particular incarnation (dual-core) has been around since March. But Eurocom (Rock Direct is using the same Clevo model in their ads as Eurocom) has had the 939 notebooks "upcoming" since Aug of last year. But because those specs were never finalized by Clevo, Eurocomm was left with a meaninless ad for a non-existant notebook. It sounds like Clevo is closer to production now than last time, but you shouldn't hold your breath.

The only problem I can see is Clevo dealing with the TDP of the dual-core CPUs from AMD. They are definitely more efficient than the 860's, and I'm aware of individual cores powering down when not in use, but having a 110W TDP at load dual-CPU alone is gonna cause problems. Its easy to see the D900K being limited to certain types of 939 CPU's (90nm Venice/San Diego, for example), where the TDP is 67W. But with 89W and higher CPU's, Luke himself has had experience trying to fit a 130nm 3700 into the 4750 but everything they tried just didn't quite work. Too loud, too much heat, etc.

BTW the MR X800XT has a TDP of ~60W at load, so no-one really has to worry about the heat issues from the VC, it's the CPU where the biggest problems come from.

thats still pretty expensive for me.

just under 2k and Id be on it. (I know its unrealistic)

I am now going to wait for this AMD notebook, instead of geting the 9880. This AMDm notebook is what ive been hoping for. who needs the intel p4 when you can have a single or dual core AMD processor with a good video card. Must wait till August 1st.

Is it sure to be august 1st?

If so, then there must be some specific info known about the lappy itself...

price...specs

Well if it can get two hard drives, two optical drives, the potential of an upgradable graphics card and a great screen - price wouldn't matter too much for me, I'm currently looking to spend less than $5000 for a top-end system; but if this is much faster than the 9880 I'd go up to $6000 with some larger 7200prm HDDs and would be happy.

If it's released I'm sure you could configure it with a 90nm A64 3500+. It'd certainly be a couple hundred cheaper, at least.
