Great news for DirectX 10 gamers that want laptops and have big wallets. Theres a GeForce 8800M GTX as well as a GeForce 8800 GTS. Alienware is going to have notebooks with these in, but I wouldn't expect anything sub-2000 (USD).

Quote: "The new NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX and GeForce 8800M GTS score the highest on industry-standard benchmarks for GPUs in their class and are the perfect complement for the new generation of DirectX 10 games for the gamer on the go.

"I am absolutely amazed by the sheer performance of the new GeForce 8800M GTX-powered notebooks," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, creators of the game Unreal Tournament 3 and the Unreal Engine 3 game engine. "These next-gen machines run Unreal Tournament 3 fantastically even at HD"

Good find. Although I've still got my £590 in my favourites... where it will stay until I find something cheaper.

Yeah, I've heard about a couple of 8800 notebooks but they are about 3 times more than a desktop with the same specs.

So far it looks like only Alienware has taken the leap. And it's a pricey leap.

With x9 I could have a low-end laptop along with my desktop. I just kept them in synch. But that's not an option with x10 and it's pricey video. So I may have to make the leap to a laptop that's as good as a desktop system. Ouch, this may hurt a lot!
