    Remember by the time the 1080M actually releases the 1180 will be in the works ~

    Jokes aside, Kudos on the repaste, I'm pretty sure your unit will easily push you till the end of next year (and further if they figured out how to get the 980 in it ), its still part Clevo afterall.

    Also please make use of the edit button vs double posting. Thanks <3

    Hi Luna,

    I'm thinking of putting a 780M meanwhile if someone can sell me one for cheap.. Been looking around.. Main problem is

    1. My AMD Heatsink will work which is good
    2. Need new X-Bracket
    3. Need different screws supposedly..

    If my finances were in a better state, I'd get 980M SLI now but they're not.. Next year, I'll definetly upgrade.. meanwhile, getting myself a Notepal U3 for a Christmas gift..

    Wait, 1080M should come in the summer so I doubt it will be a year ;).... Let's see how it goes... If I can find a cheap 780M (Possible) or a cheap 980M (probably impossible), I might stick with what I have.. Ah the possibilities in my mind.. The Devil's workshop as they say ;)

    Edit: Isn't the 970M about $450? Hmm that should be a massive bump for me! Let me see that angle :)

    Can your machine even take a 9xx ? Somehow I thought you already had a 7xx which is why I was saying initially. Unless prema's confirmed that the older systems can take it due to specs ( which would be great news to other owners including p150EM owners )


    Also noticing the keyboard on batman has a normal sized backspace key as opposed to the p150EM's super cramped one so hopefully this'll keep me from hitting the numlock key constantly. They could have sported Dell's idea by moving the arrows keys 1 char down so that the right shift would be normal sized maintaining a full ensemble :D .. oh right (enough)feedback helps too :rolleyes:

    It never ends! My bank balance weeps at my incessant tech purchasing. I have enough left for just one more purchase now; either the 1080M Maxwell round 2 or the 1180M Pascal debut. All depends on my how well I can control my self restraint.

    980M confirmed working in 17x R4... 970M should work as it seems it even works in the Ancient AW15.. Question is now how cheap can I get it?

    Edit: Just spoke to Hidevolution: Supposedly with Fedex shipping, they already include all taxes and i won't have to pay import taxes.. I'm not too sure about this as it already comes to £440 and 20% on top of that will be not good.. Anyone has any idea?

    niiice, ill be adding that link to the OP shortly!

    also nice to hear/see that this is spreading, me likes :D

    btw, whos to say that the 1080M will 1. come out that soon and 2. will be a significant jump in performance from the 980M? the last jump that was as significant as from 880M to 980M was from 580M to 680M so it stands to reason that the next bump will only be incremental at best :p also, nextgen might only come around by Q4 15, thus being actually available for the holiday season 15 :p

    as for the ancient AW m15x, its a rather special case cuz it just seems to be one of those models accepting whatever mxm gpu u throw into it :) doesnt mean that following models are as forgiving tho...

    Man, I have a feeling I'll probably be selling my NP8651/P650SE to get this Batman. :p It just seems too good to be true though. Battery life is my biggest concern with it though. But with an i5-4670T and Optimus, 3 hours should be easily achieved.

    I was laughing to myself imagining HOW this wouldn't end well, at least w/ all of us getting batman, then a massive clash as Batman kills all the clones ~ W/ wingnut obviously still standing @ the end " THERE CAN BE ONLY 1 !!!!"



    But now I think I have an idea.

    Ah, should have been more clear, but I was really referring to the flagship models only.

    Yeah, if it's 28nm, which is still a definite possibility, then the gap will not be as large as 880M -> 980M. If it's not, well then it very well could be. No idea which way it will go. I guess it depends how aggressive AMD end up being with their new stuff.

    If it is Q4 2015 it'd be easier on my conscience and more preferable from my personal POV. Wouldn't feel as bad about buying a new laptop a year after this one as opposed to only 6 months after, which I know would be a ridiculous waste of money - but I know myself too well to truly believe I'll have enough self restraint to resist temptation for long.

    Interested to see the results from that testing for the Batman. See just how badly I'm missing out ;)
