Thats the stock 3dvantage score for the i7, I can bump it up quite a bit if I want to cook the room a bit. OC'ing the quad 295's and the i7 thows out enough heat to deepfry a turkey . . . but it does go to show that as fast as laptops can get now, top end desktops are still more than three times as fast (pretty sure the new Alienware M17x is about the fastest out there for now anyway..)

Can't be long before Alienware pops an i7 into a laptop.

Yea, that notebook is a Clevo 900F, Sager and a couple other resellers market it as well. It has a full blown desktop i7 CPU and chipset, but evidently they screwed the pooch in trying to engineer the power/thermals, they can't support the m280GTX in SLI despite having a ton of room. Given that video cards return the biggest bang for the buck in gaming, the single 280 GTX cripples the otherwise speedy i7 notebook when compared to the new crop of SLI equiped 280GTX's . The best the 900F does in the same test above is around P7000ish .... (even with a faster i7 )

I remember a few years ago we tried desktop chips in laptops, it made them very bulky and very VERY HOT.
