Sager / Clevo Waiting Mode for Ivy Bridge

[postman]

feeling excited for ivy bridge looking to replace my w860cu eventually, do you guys know if or when they would support more than 16 gb ram? haswell?

On the upcoming P150EM site (Clevo P150EM | Channel Authorized Manufacturer Showcase) They mention "1*Display" in the I/O ports section, is that Display port? If so that would mean 3 display outputs!

I think they may support up to 32GB using 8GB ram sticks considering how oem's have been posting it as an option, although the specs don't mention more than 16GB:

You can get them pretty cheap at newegg too: Newegg.com - PCs & Laptops, Laptop Accessories, Laptop Memory, 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM, 16GB (2 x 8G)

oh yea good point i remember that the dell precision m4600 can support 32.0GB, DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM, 4 DIMMS

But can the ivy bridge p150em have this option or will clevo decide to support it?

I just checked out the p150hm Malibal so yes they do support/offer (32GB) 32768MB, PC3-10660/1333MHz DDR3 - 4 SO-DIMM!!

Display port?Where is the HDMI on P70EM?

quite surprised to see that quite a handful of the refresh are getting the backlit keyboards.. thought that maybe they would start with 1 or 2 models..

if come march/april the price of 580m dropped to comparable levels with the 6990m, i might just grab a np8170 instead of wait for ivy bridge and the new gpus...

if you buy a sandy bridge and 40nm graphics card in March, you must be a fool!

It's sad that next years models are still 16:9. I guess I can live with that as long as they give us higher resolutions, it's just ridiculous that my 3 year old laptop has a higher resolution than today's laptops.

[acroedd]

16:19 are fine, esp if you connect it to your external monitor or tv which is 16:9

No, it's not. End of line. (and yes, I do have several 16:9 external TVs).
