Mobile 9800 GT is Really Re-Branded 8800 GTX

[Jason]

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.
