    You created this topic in the wrong session, this is the owners lounges sub-forum, you should post this in the general Sager and Clevo forum.

    As far as I can tell, the main difference is that the NP9390 supports SLI and Crossfire (meaning you can put 2 GPUs in it), and because of that it also has a bigger power brick.

    NP9390 has the option of having two GPU's working in a SLI setup for up to 90% better graphics performance over a single card. The NP8290 Has only one GPU.
    Also should be noted that the Sager NP9380 is the same exact as the Sager NP9390 but slightly cheaper with standard backlight keyboard and lacking all those flashy lighting effects some find annoying.
