performance, whilst gaming or carrying out intensive power hungry
operations, via either a pair of GeForce GTX 675M in SLI at launch, or
two Radeon HD 7970M in CrossFire. All three laptops will also now be

enable owners to tweak colours, overclock settings and other elements of
the laptops. Unfortunately no information on pricing or worldwide
availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes
