The Highest-End Notebooks, 2009 - AVADirect Clevo D900F Notebook Review
"The AVADirect D900F is the pinnacle of "mobile" processor performance… not by using the fastest mobile processor, but by using the fastest currently available desktop processor. Clocked at 3.33 GHz, the Core i7-975 outperforms any Core i7 mobile CPU by a sizable margin. With one core active, Turbo Boost on the i7-920XM can reach 3.2 GHz, but that's as close as you can get (and the i7-975 can still Turbo up to 3.60GHz). Considering the two processors have the same price tag of $1000, the only reason to go with an i7-920XM is if you want lower power requirements"

AVADirect D900F Gaming Notebook Review
"When AVADirect offered to send us a Core i7 notebook, we said, hell yeah, and immediately cleared off space in the Lab — a lot of space ..."

AVADirect D900F Notebook Review
"These cards [NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M] are compareable to enthusiasm desktop graphics cards, like the 9800M GT. The cards have a similar core, as their desktop counterparts, but are clocked lower and often have less shader processors. Modern games like Age of Conan, Race Driver Grid, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, or Gothic 3 should run fluently with high details (Crysis should run in medium to high details)."

AVADirect Clevo D900F Core i7 Review
"The Asus W90VP-X1 remains our current leader in laptop gaming performance, but the D900F is right behind it, and that's only in our 1,920x1,200 test; the AVADirect actually beat it at lower resolutions. What's more impressive is that the D900F handily topped all of the other performance laptops we've tested. Its processing results were more on par with the Alienware Area-51 X58 gaming desktop running a 3.2GHz Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition and 12GB of 1,066MHz DDR3 SDRAM."

AVADirect D900F Review
"It is almost difficult to describe how fast this notebook is in normal operation. With the Intel Core i7 975 processor, 6GB of RAM, and OCZ Vertex drives in RAID 0, the Clevo D900F blasts through any task you can think of. Installing software happens abnormally fast, boot and shutdown times are very quick, and game load times are phenomenal. Going back to my ThinkPad T60 to type this review felt like I was transitioning to my parents' 10 year old desktop. To give you an idea of how fast this processor is, the previous "fastest" notebook in our office was an ASUS W90, scoring 23.5 seconds in wPrime when overclocked to 3.3GHz. This system finishes wPrime in an amazing 7.2 seconds! PCMark05 also increased significantly, jumping nearly 6,000 points over the ASUS W90."
