Congratz to those ordering the 3rd fastest laptop on the planet! (and also the most expensive of the 3 (Clevo starts at 2100, Alienware at 1799 and Dell at 2400) but thats your choice, I wouldn't recommend it to someone on a budget, all I gotta say is:




WELCOME TO THE SLi CLUB! Hold your head high even when walking with Clevo 900 and Alienware m9750 owners!

Can the m9750 use the new extreme intel CPUs? If not then the 1730 is faster then the m9750....at least w/ CPU intensive programs, DX9 gaming goes to m9750 but DX10 gaming goes to 1730 so IDK............

I hope they atleast went to the trouble of embossing XPS letters onto the bottom... that way the severe thermal scars on your thighs can make a trendy statement.

Clevo D900C gets both crowns and the m9750 is also getting 8700M-GTs in october... So do you want an SLi laptop at 3k or one which is marginally faster cpu wise but slower gpu wise at 4k?

My toxin is the AW lol, the cheapest and thinnest/lightest. In addition out of all 3 the design is the best (its hate it or love it but of them all the AW would get more loves than the XPS imo)
