    Good ole AvaDirect still using questionable marketing techniques I see. Also using the rather arbritrary term "Worlds most powerful notebook" based on what criteria? The only benchmarks out still have it slower then the W90 and the M17x R2 in Vantage and 3dmark06.....

    Even when enthusiast user benchmarks do come out given the limited OC'ing room I doubt it will be able to beat the M17x R2.

    I kind of agree. There are too many "most powerful laptops ever", I think.

    I bet there is, in fact, a more powerful gaming laptop in the Sombrero galaxy; though that is just speculation.

    Dell should know better than to call the M15x the "most powerful 15-inch" when the Sager NP8690 is clearly faster; GTX 280M > GTX 260M. :rolleyes:

    The only reason manufacturers use these "most powerful" titles is to attract attention and wow people. They certainly won't sell a lot of these laptops.
