    Hello, i am wondering what is the different between the Sager NP9380 and NP9390. The 9390 is a little more expensive eventhough i put the exact same specs on both so i was curious on what i am missing here and what is the difference between the 2? Thank you

    Styling and led lights. The 9380 also has a 3d option while the 9390 does not.

    They made two variants of this model and two other models which can be configured pretty much the same but have a different look. When they came out we liked to call them the "Bling" and "Non-Bling" versions.

    I find it weird that only the non-bling version has the 120Hz option. You'd think that people who want the gaming look would also want 120Hz, but no that's not available.

    The 120hz screen supplies are always tight and they probably thought the more conservative 9380 would have a larger % of the market share.

    I suppose, but why not a 120Hz option for both? I'm guessing probably because they'd need to slightly modify the mobo to incorporate the emitter and an eDP port, so just not worth the cost/hassle?

    They both use the same mobo, it will be a stock and inventory issue.
