        manufacturer based in Taiwan, is now providing notebooks powered by AMD
        platform technology. Combining ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 4570 graphics,
        the AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 processor and the AMD M690G chipset, these new
        entry-level notebooks deliver advanced performance and mobility
        benefits.
    --  The new Clevo notebooks deliver the multi-tasking performance and
        graphics power people need when enjoying 3D applications like maps,
