Eurocom's M860TU Montebello 15.4-inch laptop rocks the Centrino 2
In case you missed it, it was Eurocom's Phantom-X that managed to swipe that "fastest tested laptop" mark from the MacBook Pro last year -- and totally ruin a perfectly good commercial. Now the company is back for more with the M860TU Montebello 15.4-incher. We'll have to wait for the benchmarks to see how this one stacks up against the recent crop of Penryn laptops, but what's new here is that the Centrino 2 "Montevina" chipset is under the hood, which should support faster Penryn processors, lower power consumption and some new fancy security features. Other specs on the M860TU include a 15.4-inch 1920 x 1200 LCD, 512MB NVIDIA 8800M GTX graphics (with a future option for 9xxxM GTX chips once they're announced), 4GB of RAM, HSDPA and external eSATA and HDMI plugs. Yeah, pretty hot. No word on price, but the laptop is slated to ship May 1st.
Hands on Clevo's OEM-ready 15- and 17-inch gaming rigs
You may not know who Clevo is but rest assured your brand-named laptop vendors like Alienware, Voodoo, Hypersonic, and Sager surely do. The Taiwanese OEM just unleashed its new 17-inch pixel M570TU (pictured) and 15-inch M860TU rigs offering WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolutions right here at CeBIT. The 17-incher features Intel's "new generation" processor and chipset, 512MB of nVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX graphics, a 2 megapixel webcam, Blu-ray (or HD DVD drive too for suckers), TV Tuner, TPM, fingerprint reader, and e-SATA and HDMI ports around back. The 15-inch offers pretty much same as its bigger, 17-inch bro only without the TV tuner and Blu-ray disc drive. The M860TU does offer HSDPA connectivity though which is fair trade-off in our opinion.%Gallery-17717%[Thanks, bhattsan and Charles]
