Haven't you got an 'M' missing from every instance of '5870'. The mobile variants' naming scheme is already confusing for many - try not to make it more so.
 
Ive had a play with one of these recently, an absolutely amazing laptop that easily competes with those closer to the £1500 price range. Build quality is excellent and the screen and keys are fantastic.

Certainly a laptop I would buy if in the market for one.

do M5870's get the same frame rates as there much bigger pci-e counterpart or are they comparable to say a 5770

I think the 5870 in a laptop is more comparable to a desktop 5770 part, maybe ever so slightly faster.
 
The mobility 5870 has 800 stream processors versus 1600 in the desktop and it also comes with much lower clocks, so it is approximately comparable to a 5750 in desktop terms.
 
Whats the battery life on these?

Also if this is the last stock ever i dont think i will pick it... Why? well what if it dies? and i need a replacement... i wont get one as the last ever stock is gone.
