From our eagle eyed friends at
Killer Notebooks comes a news bulletin about the release of 9800 GT mobile video cards. It seems these cards are nothing more than 8800 GTX's re-branded as 9800 GT's which come with a price premium. As proof we were given several shots of the notebook and internal lable.
Also from
Killer Notebooks we have proof that the Q9100 does not work in these notebooks contrary to whatseveral other notebook vendors have said.
Remember if you decide to purchase a notebook from KN to mention TechwareLabs and the owner will make sure to treat you right.

After taking apart the GPU heatsink casing the card is visible.
This is the 9800 GT bottom, clearly you can see the sticker with what GPU engine is in it

Executioner with q9100 quad core Penryn in it (it doesn't work), 9800 GT (re-braded 8800 GTX), new revision IV GPU heat sink mod, modified NorthBridge chipset cooler, DDR3-1333 RAM. The bottom sticker clearly shows this is a 570-TU, just released last week system.
