AVADirect X8100 - Big size, big performance, big price
"In September 2009, we saw AVADirect push the boundaries of portable computing with its honkin’ Core i7-975 Extreme Edition–equipped D900F desktop replacement. [...] This month, we’re presented with AVA-Direct’s X8100—a rig that’s similarly monstrous but boasts a completely different character. The X8100 features a Core i7-820QM, a true mobile quad-core part. Intel’s Clarksfield chips have obvious advantages in a mobile platform, including a lower price and a much lower TDP (thermal design point) — 45W max vs. 130W — than the desktop Nehalems."

AVADirect Clevo X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook Review
"With all the high end hardware AVADirect threw into the Clevo X8100, it would be hard to imagine performance being anything but top notch, so we're not surprised with how easily the test system sliced through our benchmarks. We are, however, summarily impressed, if for no other reason than this being the fastest notebook we've yet laid our hands on.

AVADirect Clevo X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook
"With its expansive screen and keyboard, large hard drive, and fast processor, this portable qualifies as a desktop replacement. As the moniker suggests, this laptop could take the place of your desktop PC, as it offers most of the features that people look for in a computer. The screen is spacious enough for you to work on it all day without eyestrain, and the keyboard's roominess rivals that of a desktop's. It has only one optical drive, but ports aplenty. Even so, this machine is still portable, light enough to unplug from the wall and easily move to another room--or to a meeting across the country on your next business trip."

AVADirect Clevo X8100 Gaming Notebook Review
"After all the benchmarks were over, I started to play with the AVADirect Clevo X8100 gaming notebook. The machine is great for gaming you can fire up high-end games and get performance and graphics that you typically only expect on a desktop."

AVADirect X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook Review
"If you are looking for a gaming machine, the AVADirect Clevo X8100 is a serious rig for the gamer with coin to burn. You can find cheaper notebooks out there, but cheap and fast aren’t typically uttered in the same sentence. The AVADirect Clevo X8100 blitzed our benchmarks with the top score, or very near the top, in all but battery life. We can forgive the battery life; this is not a machine you buy expecting to work away from the outlet all day."
