In 19 days Alienware is going to launch its most powerful laptop. It could be a 17- or 18-inch model using a quad-core processor and either two Mobility 4870 CrossFireX (such as the Asus W90), or two GTX 280M SLI (such as the Clevo M980NU). Waiting to know more details

Maybe you are aware of our benchmark collecting effort. I recently got benchmarks of a Dell Inspiron 1545 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 and was very impressed by the results: in the Crysis GPU benchmark at 1024×768 and Medium settings, this card more than doubles the score of a Mobility 3450 and is close (within 80%) to a 9650M GT. Not bad for the bottom end of the 4000 series! I’d love to have a 4530 and 4570 to compare!

OK, so the current benchmarks in my site are getting too old. In addition, actual gaming data are more interesting than 3D Mark scores. So I decided to get another kind of benchmarks to publish on this site: user-contributed laptop benchmarks (Crysis, Devil May Cry 4, World in Conflict and X3: Terran Conflict demos). It is hard to coordinate all the sources but the table is finally taking shape. Here you have the laptop benchmark table. As you can see there is a good representation of powerful cards, but entry-level ones are almost absent. It would be very interesting to have data from the Intel GMA 4500MHD, GeForce G 105M, Mobility Radeon HD 4330 and so. In fact, all current cards are interesting!
You can contribute with your benchmarks. What are you waiting for?
