From only the one picture you can't tell, but there is likely another slot on the reverse side. As for the connectors, it might just be showing the bare motherboard.]]>Jan 13th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/Yeah it looks very much like the stacked slots on my laptop motherboard, which are very low-profile.

Yep, highest performing mobile dual core CPUs ever. Utter garbage.

I don't need to carry a computer around, I need it to be work done quickly.

The fact that we have sacrificed increasing computer speed (and therefore productive) with the need for mobility is stupid, if you had a faster computer that could get more work done quicker, you wouldn't have to be mobile computing in the first place.

50+% of laptop buyers never even travel with it, and buy it under the false notion of saving space.

So i stand by my statement.]]>Jan 13th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/

Yes because you know for 90% of the world that is not bound by the speed of their Renderfarm in how fast they do things, having a less mobile faster computer is the perfect solution.

Now lets move back to reality, where most people i know own and use laptops because they have to do work in multiple places. This is 99% of people employed in Scientific and Business related jobs, which last I checked compromised a larger portion of the workforce then people using Maya to make the next Avatar.

You != Everyone. ]]>Jan 13th 2010 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/

I love this comment for so many reasons.

I have an i7 920 desktop at home, but there are times when I need to do drafting on the road. As such, when my current 3 year old lappy goes, I will happily get a mobile i7 so my work doesn't slow to a crawl. Then I do large renderings at home. Simple as that.]]>Jan 13th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/
Lastly, My laptop uses 1/3 of the electricity as your desktop and that can add up if you actually use your computer daily. So, laptops are more energy efficient for 90% of what most Americans do.

Please don't use your atypical needs as the standard for the rest of the world.]]>Jan 13th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/
I've read some of your other posts.

You being a troll, and you being an idiot aren't mutually exclusive.

He's right, I use a quad core in by HTPC, so I can watch movies twice as fast. I can listen to music 10x faster too. ]]>Jan 13th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/
I was hoping that you were being sarcastic and forgot your irony mark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_mark), though reading your other posts on this subject seems to rule out this possibility.

An HTPC does not need to be "bigger and faster", it only needs to be fast enough while remaining quiet and unintrusive. A motherboard such as this should provide more than adequate power for any task you demand of such a computer while fitting into an enclosure of comparable size to a Blu-ray player or game console.]]>Jan 13th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/Jan 13th 2010 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/Jan 13th 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/Jan 13th 2010 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/Jan 13th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/congatec-bm57-fits-mobile-core-i7-onto-tiny-mobo/Jan 13th 2010 9:17PM
