    Now that mobile Pascal is finally here (yay!) I wanted to consult the experts on when to buy. I've got my eyes on a Clevo P650RS. Is there any benefit to waiting a few months before buying? Money isn't really a concern but I'm more thinking about any potential issues with early-run production. Does it tend to take laptop manufacturers a while to iron out manufacturing issues with new models?

    Thanks!

    Wait for at least a month because that's when the proper reviews (enthusiasts) come out.

    All I needed was a little push. Ordered a Sager NP8153-S with an SSD in place of the standard HDD from Xotic. Good gravy that's alot of money. I'm excited and nervous, haha.

    It's equipped with a full-pledged 1070. That'll do you quite well for at least 2 years (at maximum settings) with the 1080p G-SYNC display, if you ordered that.

    I've ordered from them. Don't sweat it. ;)
