Quad-core notebook pictured
 

Techwarelabs brings some spy shots of what is considered to be the first quad-core notebook in existence.

This laptop will supposedly support dual 8800 Video cards, a 17" screen and chassis, two internal hard drives up to 160GB each, and the new quad core Intel CPU, all using a 975 chipset.

Good luck trying to cool all that.

and will be so hot it will burn your nutt sack off if you set it in your lap. :nutkick:

They really ought to stop calling them monsters 'notebooks', it hurts.

lol, damn thats gonna double up as a cooker for cooking on the go, or camping :p

notebook... slimline self heating paving slab :laugh:

Actually I think this is pretty cool. If anyone else here can build that much power into that much space and not have the thing overheeat then fine, but I don't believe you could. This thing will not overheat otherwise they wouldn't be going to sell it. Most innovative cooling designs were first used in Notebooks (Heatpipes for example), so lets not knowck this product until it come out and get properly reviewed.

it needs a bigger screen lol, i think i saw a laptop/notebook dat had a 19" or 20" screen, more space for better cooling also

lol

hell no, im not knocking it in any way at all, quad core in a laptop is awsome. just having a poke at the usual "hot" tendancies of hi powered laptops :)

If that runs cool I will grow another ball.

notice that it has 3 fans and some huge piece of ... copper heatsink?!

With the proper array of heatpipes, that thing could be an asset to campers everywhere, especially when their stove runs out of gas or they need to start a fire :p.

screw trying to cool it, your gonna need a portable nuclear powerplant to run the thing for 2 hours

A guy I know uses 550w antec (slightly modded) for most of his testing.

Last one he described:

quad core intel
few gigs of ddr2
8800sli

under MASSIVE overclock of course, using dryice

So you dont really need all those megakilowatt supplies.


Except for 'notebooks' like these.

psffffttt THATS IT? :rolleyes:

besides heat and power problems, they're going to make two 8800's run off a 975 based chipset?

Yeah 975's support sli and xfire.

huh, i thought 975 only supports xfire. well, i guess you really do learn something everyday. well that's cool, when my parents hit the lottery i can build my board around a 975 not 680i

wow its a portable infertility kit, place it on your lap and you'll be infertile in no time :roll:

Its basically an oven with a quad core.

aint 3 enough?

Lucky its not a laptop then guys! Its a "notebook" ;)

rofl trt. Thats so true. You will have to have one of those gel ice packs between the laptop and any surface, hard or soft

Anti-baby laptop.

Why can't they give it a 20in widescreen........

Wheres the laptop?
