    I have a W230SS that has been a fantastic laptop. I'd love to pickup a new one with a 1060 in it. Any ideas if clevo with make another? I'm looking for something in the 13" to 14" range max.

    I sure hope something is in the works. I also have a W230SS and would love to upgrade to the next version. Mine has been great.

    I used to buy the 17" desktop replacements, but since i bought this there is no going back. Right now msi, alienware and razer are the only other viable options. The alienware is way too "gamer" for me. The razers quality control and Warranty support is too atrocious to make me consider actually buying one. I did get to check one out at a Microsoft store and it was a great looking machine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a w230ss 1060 refresh.

    I noticed the 14 inch model is no longer available from Aftershock's website too; maybe this is another sign of things to come?

    It's a popular segment but you do need to be careful and carve out the right niche to not end up with a lemon.

    Thanks Jaybee, thats great news. When i saw the NP3245 was updated i thought that was going to be the only option in that segment. I know the industry has an unwholesome obsession with "thin" right now. Sagers have had some poor battery life in the insane quest for thin for awhile. The w230ss was the sweet spot for me. 4 hour battery life and great performance in a small form factor.
