*OFFICIAL* Clevo M57ru FAQ & Owners Lounge

[m1 grant]

Im considering getting the m57, but one thing I would like to know is if this thing can support any of the mobile quad cores?

[Vedya]

The m57tu, which will come out in June/July, will support mobile quad core. You could always get an m57ru now and upgrade later, but that will be very costly because it will require a mobo upgrade. I suggest waiting for the m57tu to come out, it will support the montevina mobile QC, and also has esata and HDMI

[m1 grant]

thanks for the quick reply. When is it out?

[Vedya]

Well, Montevina is scheduled to release in June, So you should see the m570tu over the summer

[m1 grant]

shoot i would need it by the first week of june, so this probably isnt gonna happen

[Vedya]

That probably wont, But I would consider contacting them to make sure.

[m1 grant]

Ok thanks, I'll see what xotic and powernotebook have to say

[eleron911]

It might happen with the first batch, but hardly a reality call.
Mid-June sounds optimistic also...

[m1 grant]

Actually one option would be to buy this notebook in sweden since that is where I will be headed for work this june. Do you know if this notebook is sold by any european vendors and if it will be available at the same time over there?

Also try PC Microworks. I ordered my Laptop in Late December, when their were rumors about the m15x. After a week or so, it came out, and I was thinking about getting returning it for the m15x, for I thought maybe it is too large to be taken around the CAmpus when I go to college. However, I choose to keep it. When the m860tu rumors came out a couple of months ago, I phoned them up and asked them If they were going to have it. I then told them my position, and they said that when they have the m860tu up for sale, they will offer me 70-85% credit on my nb towards the m860tu if I return it, although this is wayy past the returning window. I would call them and explaing to them your situation and see if you can cut a deal through them.
