980 in 17 inch?

I could have sworn there was a model of Sager/Clevo that had the capability of having a 980 instead of 2 980m cards in SLI. Is that true? If so, which one?

My plan is to get something like this config:

6700k, 64gb ram, 980, 512GB Samsung M.2 NVMe, 1TB and Intel 802.11AC on whichever I get. I had a P750ZM with 4k and wasn't too entusiastic about it so I will probably go 1080 IPS. What are your thoughts on this config? I suspect I could go with a cheaper video card and upgrade it in September.

Yes the NP9870 from sager is based on the same chassis.

 

It's the P870DM that is the Clevo model number for it (or Sager NP9870 as Meaker mentioned).

 

@flyboynm , at one point the P775DM-G was right up there with the P870DM with a 980 desktop mobile model:

Nvidia is putting desktop-caliber GTX 980 GPUs in laptops

"We don’t have pricing information or exact release dates on the laptops launching with the 980, but here are the ones coming in the near future:

• Asus GX700
• Clevo P775DM-G
• Clevo P870DM-G
• Gigabyte Auros RX7Y4
• MSI GT72
• MSI GT80

Nvidia also told us that like with the 980M, there will be SLI configurations of the full-size 980 in laptops, too. That’s likely as much GPU muscle as you’re going to find in a laptop until sometime in 2016, when Nvidia has a new generation of cards to roll out."

It looks like the 980 desktop mobile GPU model has been eliminated:

Update: @Prema says it's actually the P775DM1 - which does exist

The P775DM has never been the GTX 980 model. That's the P775DM1.

 

Thank you all for your responses.
