    I have been researching laptops all day to see what would be good for me and I think I finally decided on clevo/sager. Now my question is what is the difference between the P170EM and the P370EM? I currently have them customized and they have the same specs exept the GPU. The P170EM has a GTX 670MX w/3.0GB GDDR5 and the P370EM has ATI Radeon HD 7970m 2GB GDDR5. Personally I usually like to stick with NVIDIA graphics because I dont have much experience with ATI Radeon. But besides that what is the difference between the P170EM and the P370EM

    As for price the P170EM is $1,564.00 and the P370EM is $1,854.00 (I dont really want to spend that much) So let me know what you guys think.


    By the way the website I am looking at them at is rjtech.com is it a good site to buy from? Have people have good experiences from them?

    Is that the ONLY difference? I just read something saying the 170 was a fail and it sucks at cooling and the 370 model takes care of all that. I dont know how true that is though.

    I recommend P370EM because has dual GPU.
    You can have only single GPU and other GPU buy later.
    P370EM has better design and better cooling first GPU than P170EM. :)
    HD 7970M is better choice than GTX 670MX

    I appreciate your opinion. Is there much difference between AMD and NVIDIA GPU's?

    Also can you suggest a place to buy or is the place I mentioned above a good choice?

    Difference is maximum in drives. I´m from Europe. I bought notebook from XMG (Germany).
    AMD GPU is better in a few games: Battlefield 3, MoHW, DiRT ,Tomb Raider

    I do realize that but it would end up costing me a lot more (which I cant afford) but thank you for that suggestions above. I will definantly do that.
