I think that's as high as a laptop could get. It's official then, my next gaming rig will be a desktop.]]>May 29th 2009 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/alienwares-m17x-gaming-laptop-truly-is-all-powerful/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/alienwares-m17x-gaming-laptop-truly-is-all-powerful/
Remember the GTX280M is NOTHING TO DO with the GTX280/285/295.

Its simply a tarted up version of the old G92. aka GTX250. aka 9800 GTX. aka 8800GT.

Its just NVidia sneaky renaming to make you think a two year old GPU is something flash...

This is common practice for both Nvidia and ATI.

Examples:

ATI released the 9700 and 9800 Mobile parts, but they were really just the 9600 desktop core.

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...9700/page4.asp

Even today, they mark-up mobile GPUs, although it's not as bad. This "Mobility HD 4850" has performance closer to a 4830 because of the reduced clocks.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-ATI...0.13975.0.html

Nvidia's mobile 9600M GT was not really 9600 GT hardware. It's really a re-branded 8600 GT.
