Clevo 150EM/Sager NP9150 worth it?

[thegoods81]

I7 2670qm
GTX 675M
No hard drive (have my own SSD)
No OS (got my own copy W7)
8gb 1600mhz ram
Killer n1103
Ic diamond paste


Total will come out to $1490.

First off, is the extra $100 to go from 670m to 675m worth it? I think it is, but maybe I'm wrong.

Second, is this a good buy for the price? I'm looking for 3 years(4 tops) of functionality and mid-high gaming.

I cannot wait for the 680m, but I am waiting for the IVYs

If you can wait for IB, then you can probably wait for the 7970M. That is DEFINITELY worth waiting for.

But yes, the 670M -> 675M is like a 30% increase, and it is a steal. 570M -> 580M (basically the same thing) was like $485.

Well I haven't read anything concrete on the 7970m. It could be July for all I know, and I can't wait that long. April 30th is the absolute latest I can wait.

In terms of the laptop itself I was just making sure the 3610qm (ivy version of 2670) + the 675m will last me 3 years.

I plan to get the same laptop. Although I was looking at the malibal version (p150em-se), because you get $50 off any order 1500, so I just upgraded to matte screen for 30 to put myself over 1500 and actually spend 20 less for an upgrade.

But I have two questions, is that network card needed? I never owned a laptop so i don't know. But I planned to keep the standard one.

And more importantly, is that version of ivy bridge coming out april 30th for sure? Because I can't wait any longer to order either. Which is why going with a gtx 675m

[thegoods81]

I'm buying Myth because of their testing/customer service/warranty/customization options. And if you talk to a sales associate they may be able to help you out pricewise.

I've heard that the network card makes such a huge difference that I can't pass it up, and I've talked to at least 5 companies that claim they will ship IB on the 30th

Why not spend an extra $400 and get an ivy bridge with GTX 675M now

I wish I could reduce the price with a 15.6" and no blu ray

Because $400 is alot of money? Lol

[Redpop200]

I just hope the 2670 version of ivy bridge comes put for sure April 30th

[Instynct]

It's not that much money. $400
