Watching videos of this on youtube, pretty amazing laptop.

Its a nice laptop, I just wish they had put a better cpu (entry level sandybridge), and a 6990 or 580m in, rather than last years best GPU.
Does look stunning though, far nicer than alienwares although you would get more for your money with them (using the usual discount codes you get).

Here you go:-
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4494/amd-raises-the-mobile-performance-bar-with-radeon-hd-6990m
The 6990m with 2GB is the fastest mobile solution out there.
This laptop uses the 6970m, but a 2GB version like the 6990m, as such the performance difference I suspect at 1920x1080 will be circa 10%, not much in it at all.
Looking at benchmarks though it does seem both 6990m and 6970m are quicker than GTX 580m, which is quite a result.

The 580m is faster in most games, its much of a muchness though, the 6970 is faster than the 6990 in some stuff for some reason. Im just a bit surprised they didnt put the 6990 for all the difference in price it would be.
Really quite tempted by this though, it has to be said, the alienware's all have minor problems and ive gone through 4 now and not been happy completely with any of them, can you run the heaven benchmark from the graphics card thread and post a screenie of the result when you get a chance? It may help sway me. (1680x1050, 4x AA full screen).
Yes I shall run Heaven, but not until next week, i shall run a whole host of benchmarks on it next week and post them up here.
The sample we had was Korean and had the slow 2630 CPU in it, but I shall be getting that back next week so shall run benchmarks for you, but the UK version has the faster 2670 CPU.

This really does look very tasty.
What is the standard warranty like with these (I assume it is a 12 month C&R) and how much does it cost for 3 years worth?
Just to compare to alienware really which seem to charge ~20% of system value for the warranty?

Cool cheers, the 2670 is effectively the same as the 2730, need to order something sooner rather than later.
I have a Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB doing nothing ATM, as one in my Desktop seems fine.
A few questions
1. is it straight forward putting the windows O/S on the SSD after delivery?, since the os will be installed yes?, and does it come with windows 7 Disk?
2. spec says glasses are included, with "*" at the side, so are the glasses included, and do they use USB IR(or something like that) device to pick the 3d signal up, ot is it on the screen (3D Vision IR Emitter) like Toshiba Qosmio used( had this for a while).
3. Does it come with Software for Viewing Blu-ray etc (think cyberlink), as its a pain putting a blu-ray in only to find no player for it
Just a few of Q's before having a look at my Empty Basket

Seriously what?
£2,500 will quite happily buy you the following Alienware M18x:
Dell System Builder said:
The only thing missing is the 3D screen as Alienware/Dell won't supply it with the AMD GPU's - you have to fork out extra for the GTX580m SLI "upgrade".
Whilst the comparison to the Alienware laptops is a useful one I do wish it was accurate.
A "similar" spec from Alienware consisting of a M17x with a faster CPU, Faster GPU, SSD but less memory (AW charge £130 for a 4GB upgrade to 8GB) would run in around the £1700 mark as long you know where to look.
This needs adjusting i'm afraid. looking at notebook check charts, the 580M, 6990, and 485M are faster. The 580M is quite a lot faster, 17% in vantage, 31% dirt 3, 17% Crysis 2, BBC2 15% and the trend is similar througout etc.
Good card, but most powerful graphics card currently available???? nope

looks a great laptop. nice 8gb flash drive boost ExpressCache SSD feature too.
I have one question. It is 3D 1080p on the laptop screen, and it is 1080p output via HDMi to a larger screen. Can the HDMi output proper 3D to a Samsung tv via HDMi ?

In the downloadable manual it says:
*"The 3D function does not work on normal external monitors (RGB, HDMI) Or TV’s (RGB, HDMI). (The 3D Function only works on the computer’s LCD panel).
*When a 3D monitor or TV is connected Through an HDMI interface, the 3D function is supported on either screen"
So its looks like it does
User Manual (Windows 7) 700G7"A" but i should imagine its the same model

I've read several posts scoffing at the price of it but they fail to recognise things such as the mini ssd caching and 120hz display. Despite this, it would be nice to see the 6990 in there or small ssd boot drive+ storage hd for £1500.
Ocuk aren't helping themselves again as they can be had a little cheaper elsewhere. Granted, i'd rather order through ocuk but I cant ignore the pricing. Perhaps if they were featured in a daily deal, i may get my wish!

Yes, its very good spec, not sure that much ram is required though, but if its going cheap.......
