    I never knew that either. I emailed them a while back suggesting that they do that, they should definitely post more. They are my favourite reseller. <3

    Will you post here more often? Just wondering. It's always good to have more Company reps to comment here more often. :D

    Well they haven't told me I cannot. We should all talk to them about getting our own threads where we can post reviews, and such.

    no surprise they "didnt tell you", because the account youre using is a private one and not declared as a vendor account :p ;) these are the rules, dont shoot the messenger ;)

    as for opening threads, u can always ask a user nicely to open one up for you, if you need to place some interesting info for the community :)

    Anyway this thread is as off-topic as it gets...come on guys no progress has ever been made without braking some rules. :D

    Ever since the migrations company representatives have had the post thread button there, just no one has used it until now, I had assumed they forgot about the restriction and never got round to telling them.

    If I were to buy a laptop in the future this would probably be it, for now I am sticking with desktop though.

    Are you sure you didn't mean GTX 980M in SLI? I don't see a GTX 980 (desktop) SLI option in there.

    Correct, it is 980 or 980m SLI in the P870DM, Be cool to see some side by side comparisons of the two in the same machine once they start shipping from Clevo :)

    Everyone keeps mentioning 980 SLI for the Clevo, but I see zero evidence to believe it'll ever *oficially* happen.

    Ya i think they would have to do it with the lower 120w 980 rather than the 200w 980 like they are using in the P870DM.

    No chance with 2x 200w 980 :(. Just look at the heatsink for the +200w card.

    Now with the 200W card due to the lack of SLI connector, but maybe you could mod the lower wattage versions.

    Did anyone purchase on X9 ATM? Is there any bench mark on specifics other than hardware? E.g.: weight, carrying, speaker, surface quality etc.
