280M is the best and with the I7 the 280M is double the GPU.
The 280M with another CPU is good but half the GPU compared to
when it is with I7 |
280M is a
great card, M9800 has two 280M is SLI video. This video
response for gamer unequaled |

260M is
good but 280M is best video, why start with 2nd best card? and
make you pay for best? |
*9600
nVIDIA is standard you can upgrade to the 130M which is entry
level neither card is good for gaming |
No
upgrade option from Quadro |

Overview |
No finer
mobile platform exists. When you need to know you have the
highest quality laptop and the fastest computer of its kind.
This notebook is your only choice. The very best quality with
the fastest technology known to man makes this the only laptop
computer that can say it is the "fastest laptop in the world" |
Fantastically superb motherboard with SLI video, RAID 0,
Extreme Quad Core CPU make this laptop more more powerful
than anything the competition has. Add in the light effects
and it is just about the coolest thing you ever saw. |
A super
high quality motherboard unleashes the 280M tied with the I 7
CPU and super fast DDR3 RAM boosted with the RAID 0 hard
drives gives you mobile based CPU platform that make the best
use of every piece of technology mankind can offer. |
Low
quality motherboard, starting with 2nd best of video and 2nd
best RAM. fewer HDD to include in RAID 0. Pretty poor showing
indeed |
Low
quality and lack of RAID, and the use of a very low end video
card make this laptop a poor choice for anything but low end
use. |
Low
overall quality and Old legacy card makes this 2nd choice for
CAD and worst choice for gaming, slower RAM kills speed |
|
Whys does M-Tech focus so much on motherboard quality, Simply
put, it is more important than everything else. A low quality
motherboard stunts CPU, GPU and RAM performance as well as
increases the laptops failure rate. The major name brands are
all in a price war with each other. this forces them to lower
the quality of the most expensive part, the motherboard. Major
brands know that most people buy what they can see, not what
they cannot see. That is why they all focus on stunning web
sites and laptops with great looks. It is just good business
for them to spend their budget on what you can see. You cant
see quality and they know how hard a sell that will be, so
does M-Tech. However, we also know if we dropped to their
level of quality, then there would be no laptop brand that
truly promised and delivered the finest technology money could
buy. When you price out our laptops and find out we are
actually cheaper than some of the major brands, well that's
just a bonus. Don't be misled, As always, "you get
what you pay for" |
gives M-TECH a
rating
