This model will also be known as the OCZ Whitebook, oddly the site pushes the Corsair memory as an upgrade option.
Designed to be a mobile desktop and doubles as a gaming machine, it cannot go long without being plugged in so if you are looking for something a bit more lap friendly this machine might not be for you.
Showing it around at IDF most people commented on the finish and finger prints, this doesn't bother me but if that is a concern this is a fingerprint magnet.
Weight is 11.5 pounds not including the power brick, daily travel might be a problem for some, lan events or someone who needs the graphics horsepower on the go this will do very nicely.
Pretty much every feature possible is in the Extreme M1, I expect to switch over to solid state hard drives when available to increase battery life in power saver mode.
In power saver mode I get about two hours battery life if I dont run 3D and crossfire. Watching a full length movie is possible on battery, I have done it.
Overclocking I can reach 500Mhz overclock on both cores without any special cooling, the system must be on a flat table for proper air flow. This should be normal for others to hit. 1Ghz overclock on both cores is possible with added cooling, I will be using a 8K BTU AC unit for my high speed runs.
No issues with the video cards overheating other than the back plate must stay on, removing it will cause the GPU's to fail.
Intel Xtreme Tuning Utility is operational and works with the XTU enabled bios. XTU gives you more options that what is available in bios. You can adjust vcore, vmem, memory timing, FSB, and multiples. You must save to bios and reboot for changes to take effect, you can change FSB without rebooting.
There is no ability to change NB voltage and I seem to max out at 312Mhz on this sample. I will push harder once under AC blast.
Im going with low speed benches first and I will update with high speed benches. No AC assist, ambient air. I will be adding more benches, bandwidth to Cinebench. I will swap back to X9100 for 4Ghz + benches.
pretty nasty temps for a laptop.... looks more like the mac books that would set your leg on fire.
i think they have a long way to go to get proper cooling.
(i hope to heck they are not using the typical single heatpipe on the core)

You might also follow a thread over at the guruofgaming forums. Killernotebooks got their hands on one and has started playing. He calls it the Nagamaki (it's a OCz Whitebook).
Typically, he also overclocks. He also does bios mods, os tweaks, core logic software, custom cooling, etc. Here are his benches so far.
He's been working on tweaking the gpu's drivers. So far on Crysis, he's up to:
stock: Run #1- 1024x768 AA=No AA, 32 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Last Average FPS: 25.83
best runs so far: Run #1- 1024x768 AA=No AA, 64 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Overall Average FPS: 48.525
and larger resolution with his latest
Run #1- 1900x1200 AA=No AA, 64 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Overall Average FPS: 30.8225
Just a quick update what Killernotebooks has been upto since they've gotten the production models.
He's now cnc machining new heatsinks to shed heat better. Fighting with OCz since their 1333 ram isn't working on the production model. He's working with Arima and OCz because the QX9300 has bios issues.
Anyway, he's got it overclocked and expects to get a bit more out of it in the next week or so. As it stands, he's got it upto 15,143 3dMark06 on air with just a multiplier overclock.
And a more normal overclock I'm guessing will be his product's overclock at 3.00 GHz
He's going to post temp screenies later, but he's done the 9100 oc'd to 3.33 GHz and got 75 degrees at full load with his new heat blocks.
I just figured out this had 3870's in crossfire.
i was wondering why the 3dmark scores where so high.
Sweet notebook.

As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki
Due to the way life turns I still want to game but have to be more mobile, with emphasis on "more" not "totally" so a DTR is in the offing in the next 6mo or so. Curious to see how the Quad is performing and how high it can clock. Running a room AC through the thing is exaaccctly what I was thinking for speed when home based.
Think 40nm GPU's in the springtime and a quadcore and possibly the Q45 chipset, 160gb SSD and 500gb/7200 and you will have a good idea of what I'm thinkin.
