One of the best performer among the laptops provided by AVADirect is AVADirect's Clevo D900F. This laptop features Intel's flagship processor Intel i7 Core 975 Extreme Edition. Let's take a look at the spectacular feature set it boasts of:

• As mentioned above, it supports the Intel i7 Core 975 Extreme Edition that can be over-clocked to 5.3 GHz.
• It also supports up to 12 GB of triple channel RAM which means that you can be insane about performance.
• It supports 3 Hard Disk Drives and like the Falcon Northwest DRX Fragbook, one of the hard drive can be a 80 GB SSD from Intel.
• It has 4 cooling fans that would keep the processors performing good and efficient.
• It would support nVidia's lower end of graphics card - nVidia GeForce GTX 280M 1GB graphics card.
• It has 4 speakers in place of 2 speakers found in other commercial laptops and has support for 4 USB 2.0 Ports and 1 IEEE-1394 Ports.
• Another advantage and a credit that you can give to AVADirect is that it knows what true performance is and so it supports a Full Sized Keyboard with Numeric Keypad.
• Last but not the least - Intel High Definition Audio / 8 Channel external audio outputs supported.

Some of the compromises that you are required to make are Battery time and portability. Because of the high TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 130 Watts, the processor will wipe out the power quickly and will not allow for longer battery times. Also, do expect the notebook to be light.

With these considerations, the performance charts proves that in comparison to this notebook, no other can even reach near to the performance records that it sets. So, the only thing that can bring a smile on your face would be the performance charts. Like the Falcon Northwest DRX series notebooks, it easily crosses the 10,000 point benchmark when tested with the PCMark Vantage tests. Yes I can see a big smile on your face.

The screen resolution of the notebook is also good enough and is at par with other generic models available. Brightness levels are perfect. So this monster is the best in the category for CAD/CAM Designers, Graphics and Animation professionals.

The only downside of this wonderful, powerful and beautiful device is the price tag attached to it. And it would definitely increase if you customize it. You should be ready to let go your half-yearly savings to get one in your hands. But then you are the performance setter and you are the speed king.

1. Review Of The Intel Core I7 Extreme Processor

This 12 pound notebook features the monster from Intel, i7 Core 975 which has a whooping 3.33 Ghz of available processing power at a non-over clocked state. It has 6 GB of Triple channel RAM and supports 3 Hard Drives one of which is a 80 GB SSD. Considering the huge raw processing power available from the single processor, Falcon's people have restricted themselves from using the top of the line graphics card featuring the SLI technology which supports 2 graphics processors and have went with the Lower Edition of nVidia GeForce 280M GTX card.

When you combine all this into a notebook, all other people can do is watch you helplessly getting way ahead in terms of performance and gaming experience.

Falcon Northwest DRX sports eye-catchy colors and as they specialize in Custom paint jobs, you can get your laptop in virtually any color you think of.

Falcon went with a Standard LCD screen which has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1080 pixels. The viewing angles and the brightness levels are in terms with other generic notebooks. It features all the ports that are commonly included in a notebook including the DVI-I port, HDMI-out and an eSATA port as well. The additional advantage that you get is an inclusion of the TV Tuner Card which is not common in the notebooks available today.

Now comes the only experience that can be compared to the price tag of this heavy laptop. It is the performance, sorry it is the sky-high heart-throbbing performance.

PCMark Vantage tests on this system broke the 10,000 point mark, which hasn't been done on a laptop until now. In Cinebench R10 testing, the DRX's 19,314 score was easily double that of the P7808 and uG71G-Q1. From this it is obvious that it can shatter the performance records of every preceding notebook.

Therefore, it all boils down to a simple conclusion that if you can go broke for performance, go for it or just leave the deal.

3. Review Of The Intel Core I7 Extreme Processor

Intel is known for speed. Intel's processors are definitely fast but so is also the case with Intel's development process. Intel has launched the mobile editions of the fastest "Nehalam" processors. While the desktop counterpart has already spawned benchmark-busting laptops, i7 core mobile editions are out too.

Falcon Northwest has already launched i7 Core based laptops in the market. It is one of the first companies to sell notebooks featuring Intel i7 Core Techonology. Though, as you have expected, it would be a the extreme high end lineup. And as this monster is way ahead in terms of performance as compared to the other processors, people at Falcon Northwest have shifted thier attention away from models featuring extremely highend graphic cards.

One fine example is of Northwest FragBook DRX core which features this extremely highend processor from Intel, but have used a lowerend graphics card from nVidia, GeForce GTX 280M instead of using the lastest SLI technology, which uses two grahics chip. The performance has not seen any downfalls though.

These laptops are not only sufficient for highend graphics industry, they are a dream machine even for the extreme gamers. You can easily play Crysis and World of Conflict in the highest graphics settings possible and this processor will give you the best you have ever seen.

The TDP - Thermal Design Power of the processor is a whooping 115 Watts though. So the featured laptops will have more than 3 fans to keep this monster cool and efficient. Northwest FragBook DRX has four cooling fans. The reason is obvious and so would be the specific requirements for its operation. The laptops will not have enough battery for long time. If run on a battery mode, the laptop would be powerless in less than 2 hours.

Northwest, though, is not the only one selling those powerful laptops. Many others have also entered the competition and those include the Smooth Creations and CyberPower. The best bet has been with AVADirect Clevo D900F Core i7 laptop which has the best performance among the tested.

It does seem that other companies will soon catchup on the core i7 processors, and so you can expect some advantages in terms of pricing of the laptops.

On the other hand, Intel has also launched it new flagship processor Intel i7 Core 975 which till date is the fastest processor on earth having a superb speed of 3.6 Ghz in normal mode and just above 5.3 GHz in over clocked state. This monster is expected to stay for a long time to come as Intel is not facing any challenges from AMD this time.

This chip is a bit bigger in size than the Core 2 Duo chip and the only architecture supporting this wonderful processor is Intel X58 chipset. The chip is built using the 45 nanometer wafer technology and brought back the days of Pentium 4 which supported Hyper Threading Techology. So if you check out the Windows, it will show 8 processor cores. There are numerous enhancements including these which has made the i7 core a topper in the list of other processors. Though, advantages comes at a price and that is a heavy USD 999 in the case of this processor.

The Least change is seen in the Media Encoding as it only utilizes 2 cores of the processor. But the Sony Vegas Video editing test shows that this processor is undoubtly the best in terms of output time. The test also shows that the Rendering time is 33% less as compared to the Core 2 Extreme.

These benchmarks are topped by Intel i7 core 965-Extreme Edition. Another surprise is that i7 core 920 also outperforms the predecessor Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770. Other Benchmarks tests are also topped by i7 core extreme which includes individual times of Adobe Photoshop, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Office and Others. And this undoubtedly proves Intel i7 core Extreme to be the fastest processor till date.
