I work for another Clevo reseller, whom I shall not mention, but it's important to realize that the "9800M GT" does NOT require a bigger premium. The price of the card dropped nearly $200 when nVIDIA rebranded it, which is a pretty significant price drop (nearly 1/3 of the original price). It's goofy business, and it's shady enough to have me a bit squeamish, but nVIDIA really wanted to move their old 8800M GTX stock, and this is actually a pretty smart way to do it, all things considered.
