The cooling system is impressive - and with two mobile Geforce 7950 GTX GPUs running in an SLI configuration, absolutely necessary. Faced with the task of cooling a notebook containing the equivalent power of a desktop, it takes four fans and heat sinks in the case keep the system stable. Of course, the meat and potatoes of both of these notebooks - the main board - is the same. The basic platform we're dealing with is an Intel P965 chipset supporting 800 MHz DDR2.
So here I am reading a review from Geardigest.com on two high performance laptops from Eurocom and M-Tech then at the end of the article I read this.
Author's Opinion
I find it exciting that more power is becoming more portable. I purchased my first notebook last year and have been very pleased with it; even though it's a budget model, it has been able to do everything I throw at it to my satisfaction, even most games. It's nice to know that when I inevitably upgrade it in the years to come, its successor will likely have more power than my current desktop.
