    Can anyone make a comparison for these two systems for 780m?
    I only know that 170sm seems to have better cooling system?
    thanks

    I'd say the SM for sure. With as much power as the 780m draws, you'll want the better of the two in cooling. I retired my notepal u3 when I sold my GT70.

    Get the Clevo. The Clevo also has MXM, which means you can upgrade your GPU (which I belive is something you can't do in an MSI).

    Alienware =D.
    Clevo dont let you upgrade later with bios problems.
    MSI fcked up with their last model with the stupid idea of using only one fan.
    Alienware is expensive, though you can upgrade easly just like MSI, and they always have the best cooling system

    i got the Clevo 170SM because the MSI only had one fan. My GPU has yet to exceed 86 Celsius after more than 1 hour of playing time.
