Yeah, nice performance, but it's not a laptop. First of all, you need to keep it on a flat surface so that the fans under the system are not blocked. Second, at 12 pounds it's rediculously heavy. An 8 pound notebook is already pushing the limits. At 12 pounds, you can't call it a notebook with a straight face.The only exciting part of this product launch is what Anand said. The possibility of the 9800 being the new midrange and being found in smaller notebooks.

These new graphics solutions are going to give Intel's upcoming integrated graphics solutions a beating. Hooray for ATI & Nvidia!allnighter - Monday, November 8, 2004 - link
Nice comeback for nVidia. And a very good review as well. Not exactly apples to apples but under the given circumstances more than enough. If M28 is not availabe at a launch it seems ATi may see another piece of the market chipped away in the mobile sector. Nice indeed. I'm actually happy for nVidia. Can't believe I said that lol, but I really like to see some real competition in the mobile market. It's been a one player game for a long time.Aquila76 - Monday, November 8, 2004 - link
Let me be the first to say, Holy sh1t! Doom3 at 1280x1024 High Quality 4xAA on a LAPTOP at 40+FPS? I'd love to see these vid cards on an A64 proc, though. I remember not too long ago you had to settle for a couple gen's ago graphic capability. Now they're on par with current desktop offerings. We've come a long way, baby.
