Gigabyte P27 is really a Clevo W370 (backlighted keyboard!! swap possible?)

Found the Gigabyte p27 today and it is almost identical to the Clevo w370(st/ss) Right now i'm stuck between the clevo w370ss or the p170sm-a.. Far as i know there are no option for backlighted keyboard on the w370 and that is a bit turnoff.. so..

Do you think it is possible to swap a gigabyte p27 backlighted keyboard to the w370ss?

Do you think Clevo will adopt the looks of the p27 in the future (improvement in looks made my jaw drop)

What is the dealio with this? do clevo own gigabyte or vice versa? i'm curios! I know Sager/Nexoc/Eurocom/Prostar etc, have alot of rebranded Clevo's, but that gigabyte should have an w370 in different color slightly diferent build BACKLIGHTED KEYBOARD really only thing i was missing on the w370ss!

Google can't find any previous questions about this for me!

They don't sell the p27 in my country.. or else i would have bought that one..

 

Damn. Looks like it would not work, keyboard mount looks the same but the clevo semes to be missing a connector.

May be a hidden connector on the w370ss in the same spot but i doubt that..

 

No, there is no connector (as you hinted at in your second post) for it. Also, the firmware may not support it.

Unlikely, but the P series does look pretty chic.

Neither owns the either. They are separate entities. Gigabyte Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
