Yeah but will it shatter if you look at it crosseyed? lol jk, really tho that is pretty beast.

Well, they are usually a step down.
Mobility HD4850 was a little bit faster than the HD4830, but not quite as fast as the desktop HD4850.

I kinda feel the same. Shoulda waited a bit on this.
Besides, are we not supposed to have 32nm chips soon from Intel?
It seems like an i5 with switchable graphics & this setup would have been a better option though.

Also, I much rather would have seen 2 SSD's & 1 large HDD in this.
I mean if you were really going for a beast machine that would been the way to go.

Exactly. Seems like a high end of a last generation. I'm sure the price tag is massive, and I couldn't justify this with better things coming out so soon.

I'm sure (almost certain even) that the Core i7 mobile counterparts will be better than the 32nm with integrated graphics.

Yea me either. I'll take a core 2 duo at 3.0ghz for gaming on a laptop anyday. I don't care if it does have 8 threads you still need some sortof of clock speed for games.

-ATI's Mobility parts, in the 4xxx generation anyway, are much more closely related to their desktop counterparts than Nvidia's. They always use the same SP count as their desktop counterpart, but they are often clocked significantly lower, while Nvidia tends to rank its mobile gpus independently of its desktop parts, but use the same names (128 SP core on desktop is a GTS250, but on a laptop its a GTX260m and clocked lower).
I see no reason for the trend to change, especially when ATI's 40nm parts conserve power so well.

It has turbo boost of 2.8GHz tho.

Now we just need a 2.0GHz Core i7 mobile

Uh...has 2.8ghz turbo mode....
1.6ghz is for power save....

Plus there was an article recently that showed a 2.0GHz i7 920 barely even bottlenecked a 5970.
