Clevo P370em

[Jinxed_07]

And one more thing - WE'VE GOT some SERIOUS audio going on in the P370. Just look at the photo. Sound Blaster full-sized sound card from Creative.

Im going to enjoy the Crystalizer and TruBass on this. Money = saved up and ready to shoot. And by the look of things, we might get 7990m along for the ride in September.

Agreed, as a music lover that enjoys popping in a CD and rocking out, a true sound card makes a world of difference in the experience a great song provides.
Where are you coming up with a 7990m from? The 7970m IS the flagship GPU...there's nothing else coming out from AMD this year. That is unless they figure out a way of cramming two GPUs into a single form factor....buuuuut I doubt it The 7970m should be capable of handling anything you throw at it, and if you plan on powering a high-res external monitor than you can just go the crossfire route.

God knows.. he is probably wishing

The only drawbacks I can see are thickness, lack of DVI, and price. I would love one but still feel justified and happy spending $1700 on the P150EM over a possible $2200+ P370EM. My monitor only supports DVI and VGA so in that regard it suits me better anyways. Still, 7970Mx2 sounds freaking amazing. That is more power than the desktop GTX 680. HD 8000M better be standard MXM 3.0 >! I don't want to be left alone and not be able to upgrade. I think every one hopes that HD 8000M will be supported on these models next year.

BTW was it confirmed that the 7970M now works in the HM series laptops?

I know what you mean. With the very nice screen options and top-end GPUs the P150EM offers, it's a nice buy but you can't help but hesitate knowing that you won't be able to do SLI/Xfire in the future, and the fact that it only has one full size drive bay is also a downer. If we could at least get a 1080p matte screen with a 95% color gamut with this laptop, I could probably push all fears aside, jump the gun, and buy this smexy thing
Now that I mentioned it, any word on just how many drives you can put in the P370em?

Photograph looks to say 2xHDD + m-SATA. More than likely, you could neuter the optical bay for another

There's 3 HDD bays + optical bay + msata, don't quote me.

Yes, by Sager themselves

As small as the text is, I can make out that the stand does say 2xHDD + msata.

My mistake looks like i was confusing 3 hdd bays with 3 on top of an optical, so yeah 2 x hdd + optical + msata. or 3 x hdd and msata.
