MV Ixius 3.6 Laptop and NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Go 256MB

[DR]

Bottom line is that desktop-replacement laptops have just moved up another gear, so if you can justify spending £1750 and want a do-it-all laptop, MV's Ixius 3.6 is a good a bet as any right now.

Hi people

Anyone dealt with MV before?
I'm about to order one of these babies, but can't find much information about them on the net.

Anyone care to share their experiences, if any?

Umm.. £1750 for a 5-6kg desktop replacement laptop with tons of power..
or...
£1750 for a 800g Sony Vaio X505VP with rather rather low specs..

Its actually not all that obvious to me

[lunarmys]

the plan is to use this as a desktop replacement (duh)

and working in front of a 10.4" screen, with bad eyes? not my cup of tea

it's ordered now anyway
so keeping my fingers crossed that it's not a dodgy company..

MV are not dodgy - and if you have problems of course, get in touch

[TooNice]

Of course..

Still.. After seeing how "ultra compact" can get, I am torn..
12.1" LCD and I would be all over it

(I got a desktop already)

I have just ordered from them and will keep you informed on status, the guys and gals at MV have told me their website will up at the end of the week as they have had some issues with the server???

When are they going to update their website?

[DR]

Very good question - I will pass this to them.

Can't believe how many people want this laptop

[lunarmys]

too bad they don't seem to be able to deliver

just spoke to them now, and apparently they've had problems getting hold of ddr2 memory, but the shipment of ddr2 memory should reach them on WEDNESDAY

this after them saying that having the laptop (sent to sweden no less) on the 10th of december shouldn't be any problems, then after some problems they said i would DEFINITELY get the laptop no later than the 14th. now it looks like the 21st

so far i'm not impressed :-/

[JUDSTA]

Apparently there is a global issue with this DDR2 memory and none of the other laptop suppliers are able to get their hands on it either? will have to see

Hi,

if you look at Alienware 7700m laptop, which is nothing else than an Ixius (it looks really close..), they won't be able to deliver them before mid february...
And they say they start to buid them actually...
So i hope Ixius will be faster that them to deliver the laptops.
Does anybody know how to order a laptop from them directly? there is no link on their webpage.
Thanks,
