We shouldn't all act surprised that
Clevo of all companies is cranking out yet another desktop replacement that would likely burn through even the thickest jeans (and potent batteries) in no time flat, but the firm's 901C ups the ante over the previous rendition with a few notable hardware bumps. Coming just months after the already wicked
900C, this sucka includes your choice of Intel's Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Duo Extreme
X6800 processors, a 17.1-inch WXGA / WSXGA+ display, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce Go 7950GTX or the
8700M GT, room for a trio of SATA II drives hooked up in RAID, a full size keyboard with numeric pad, 12-cell battery, digital audio out, built-in microphone, four integrated speakers, and a seven-in-one card reader. Furthermore, you'll find ports for FireWire, USB 2.0, S-Video / VGA / DVI, gigabit Ethernet,
Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi, an integrated webcam, 56k modem, and a TV tuner to boot. Apparently, there's no word just yet surrounding price or availability, but we wouldn't count on this powerful 11.9-pounder to run you cheap.

8700M? Is that a typo?
The D901C has identical specs to the D900C.
They're just different colours.

No the 8700m isn't a typo, apparently when the D900C and M570RU were announced, they only knew that they would be a high end 8x00m card, and 8800m was, effectively, a guess. Since these have now shown up on the Clevo website with 8700m as a future option, it is likely that they have confirmed with nVidia which cards will be availiable.
I hope this isn't like their other piece of overheatin' crap, the D870P! They should have recalled those things because they artifacted like crazy!
