Can you send me the exact model and options, and the price you paid?
Which model clevo is it based on, D900K? Any specifics you want to share
with me publically or privately, would be wonderful.

The aforemention url is a prostar based on the latest Clevo. How does
it compare to your portable (price/features).

Same system as your link, ~$200 cheaper - no OS. :)
My specific laptop is the Nova 906V -

(First one on the page)
There are a couple of key differences - Turion64 vs. Athlon 64X2, Dual
7800's vs. single 7800, 19" vs. 17" are the key ones that I see.
After customization, I ended up paying about $3500 for mine, but the
prices have a dropped $100-200 since I bought mine.
OK, exact model & options on mine-
"FUSION" base system
1920x1200 screen w/ 3-year Accident Protection warranty
nVidia GeForce 7800 Go GTX w/ 256MB Memory (didn't release the 7900
until a few weeks after I'd bought mine... bummer... :( )
Athlon 64X2 4400+ CPU (Lowest one that had a full 1MB cache per core)
1GB Ram
80GB SATA-150 5400 RPM drive
No 2nd HDD
Base CD/RW + DVD Drive
No 2nd Optical drive
XP Pro SP2 (I dual-boot - do some Windows development in my job, plus
I enjoy gaming...)
3-year Xtreme Warranty (don't remember if I got on-site or mail-in -
probably mail-in)
EZLock (EZ-90)
All that + shipping ran me about $3500 - looks like it's down to about
$3100 + shipping these days...
HTH-
