email to a friendU.S. system builder iBUYPOWER is no stranger to extreme notebooks, so it's something of a surprise to find that the company hasn't yet shipped an Intel Core i7-based portable.
Fortunately for those in anticipation, the wait is coming to an end today with the Battalion 101 W870CU - a 17.3in behemoth equipped with hardware that'll likely put your desktop to shame.
Inside this juggernaut (which appears to be a rebranded Clevo) resides a choice of Intel Core i7 processors - including the 2GHz Core i7 920XM Extreme Edition - up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M graphics card equipped with a 1GB GDDR3 frame buffer, and a choice of hard or solid-state storage solutions.
Bringing it all together is a generous 17.3in display that offers a full-HD 1,920x1,080 resolution - there is, of course, a Blu-ray drive available to make full use of all those pixels. Smitten? Prices start at $2,114, but the system only ships within the U.S. and Canada.

Think I am holding off of a new laptop until there is mobile version of the ATI 4860 or 5xxx series, still I have the time to wait, do not need a laptop just yet.
Something like this?
