Clevo's beastly 18.4-inch M980NU gaming laptop eyes-on
Ready for the duel of the 18.4-inchers at CeBIT? Just yesterday we took a look at Acer's ginormous Aspire 8930, and today we popped in at Clevo's booth to snap a few shots of its mammoth M980NU. While the girth was impossible to not notice, the palm rest, keyboard and top control panel were downright ritzy. Yeah, the all-gloss finish was a fingerprint magnet, but we can't say it wasn't drop-dead sexy when wiped clean. Regrettably, we couldn't figure out how to get that incredibly annoying plastic lock thing off of the keys, so we can't personally verify whether this thing can handle the stresses of Quake I. Sorry, we tried.
Clevo's 18.4-inch M980NU desktop replacement gets put through its paces
The gang over at Notebook Check just got their hands on that Clevo M980NU we've had our eyes on for a couple months now. A desktop replacement clearly aimed at the gaming set (what else could all those blue LEDs possibly mean?), this guy rocks the new nVidia Geforce GTX 280M GPU which, combined with its 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, gets called out for its "first-class performance in virtually all fields of application." The 18.4-inch display is no slouch either: with 1920 x 1080 resolution and a max contrast of 595:1, this guy offers "much bigger color space" than most notebooks, although the reviewer points out that you'd see better performance from an RGB-LED panel display such as the Dell Studio XPS 16. But don't take our word for it -- to check out the comprehensive, earth-shattering review hit that read link.
