    that is a no brainer: the Sager will beat the Eurocom in almost every aspect. the 860M (even if they use the Kepler-chip - which I really doubt in the W350SS-barebone - that's the soldered-GPU) is roughly 20% ahead of the GTX765M. The Maxwell 860M runs cooler AND faster than the 765M.

    I configured both NB (Sager NP7358 and Eurocom Shark 2.0) to be similar (i7-4700, 8 GB-RAM, 240GB-SSD, 500GB-HDD, no OS) and the Sager ended up at 1.200 $, where Eurocom was 1.316 $. almost 10% more cash for 20% less performance? 'nough said?

    2gb and 4gb version will have absolutely no difference. I would say its just a marketing gimmick to make people pay more for useless vram.
    The 860m is too slow with its 128bit memory bus to utilize that extra 2gb of vram
