    Hi,

    I think that we pretty don't see anyone because they just came out, and there is not so much different specs.
    In France, there is only one website where we can find a similar model...

    And side of it, i didn't see any advertizing.

    Are you sure to take a bga cpu ?

    If thickness is not a major point, go take a look to Eurocom Tornado F5 ;)

    What's wrong with a BGA cpu?

    Yeah, I was looking at that laptop, but it doesn't have a 120 hz screen D:

    It gets a little warm around the back, but the temps are all pretty normal and there's no throttling. Unless you get a pretty thick machine, it's about as good as you're gonna get in a 15" laptop.

    How's the laptop's build quality and cooling ? I looked at it and liked the specs.

    Awesome, another laptop to add to my list then (Presently, its just the Clevo p650hs and the 15 inch Alienware)

    I'd avoid the Alienware 15. The new models apart from the 13 inch have had problems with the new cooling design, and it's been resulting in horribly uneven temps (we're talking a 10-15 degree difference between cores). There's a gigantic thread in the alienware discussion board, and even though they said they addressed it, the kaby lake version has the same issues.

    Yeah, I heard. So now the only options left are this laptop and the Cleve. I guess it's time to look reviews up. Thanks for the help :D.
