    Based on the Clevo X7200, which uses a desktop CPU and chipset. From the looks of it, seems to be a tad slower than a GTX 485M SLi system in Vantage (about 10%). Not sure how it compares in 3dmark11 and Unigine though.

    Interesting because the desktop 580 beats the 6970...

    But the desktop 6950 can be hacked into a 6970 and thus 6970 performance costs a lot less :)

    As soon as I save up the money, I'll be buying one to replace my aging, but still perfectly capable, 4890. MLAA looks cool, and is too good to pass up for the price.

    Coming from Eurocom I don't know if they're legit but they're not bad.

    For comparison paldin44 of PowerNotebooks posted these scores of SLI GTX 485M in an x7200 with an i7-980x.
