DreamBook Power D90 SLI - The World’s First Quad-Core Laptop

Australian PC maker Pioneer Computers has unveiled DreamBook Power D90 SLI, “the first quad-core notebook in the World”.

This 17-inch DreamBook, designed for gaming, is based on the Clevo’s D900C and comes with an option of Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz quad-core desktop processor. Other important DreamBook Power D90 SLI’s features, which are not present in common laptops, are a dual graphics powered by two nVidia GeForce Go 8800 GTX 2×512MB video cards in SLI mode, and a storage solution using up to two solid state drives and an additional standard hard drive simultaneously.

The quad-core DreamBook with Q6600 and dual GeForce 8800 GTX is available for pre-order with a starting price of $5,551 Australian dollars ($4,755 US dollars).

Recently, Canadian Eurocom said it develops the similar quad-core Phantom D900C notebook. On the other side, the United States-based Sager explained it will not use Q6600 processor in its NP9260 (also built on Clevo D900C) because this CPU can cause system failure if used long term.
