Thread: Differences between Arima W840 DI and Clevo D901C

The Q9650 is a 3.0GHz desktop quad. It will annihilate every mobile chip out there. I would say that dual 3870s would beat a single FX3700M. The Quadro cards are meant more for work stations.

This is going to be one ridiculously expensive laptop. Why are you building such a powerful laptop when you can build a better desktop for half the price?

Have to second joshua on this one. I think the processor alone will be over one thousand dollars at least...

I have contemplated getting a desktop then a lightweight laptop but it seems in the end its gonna cost the same because I want the laptop to still perform well with multi-tasking when doing work (photoshop, IDE, browsing, FTP + other apps all at once).

Out of the two laptops which would you choose and why?

with the Clevo D901C, you can still get SLI 9800M GT's... a number of vendors still have that option, like: - www.pro-star.com - www.eurocom.com .... and their resellers.

I use my laptop for work as well. I don't like the fact that some of these sager/etc resellers don't offer on-site service with overnight/2-day parts shipping. Do any of them offer this? Makes it a bit easier when I can get it fixed in 3 days rather than a week+
