    A 17.3" that support SLI, the only one currently offered by Sager is the NP9377 but the back ports look different. There is also the Clevo P750ZM but the back on that also looks different too.

    It looks like a Clevo P370em (Sager NP9370).

    It's a Clevo P370SM-A chassis. We sell it as the XMG P724 (google this is P370SM-A for independant notebookcheck review which should give you a comparable i71100 review) but Sager didn't take this chassis, instead a slight variant P377SM-A. The main differences are the fan exhaust design and the back corner lights which are on the 377 but not on the 370.

    Yeah, they use the P377SM-A now as the NP9377, but previously did have the P370EM though. After closer looking at it though, it does look like the P370SM-A.

    Is it OK even if the other machine isn't a Clevo? Anyway here it goes.

    My budget is ¥400000 ($3200)

    G-tune i71100

    Core i7 4810mq (is it worth it paying 200$ more for a 100mhz stock/boost difference?)
    GTX 980m 8gb x2 SLI
    256SSD (no mention of brand)
    16GB DDR3L
    1TB 5400 hdd
    1920x1080 Anti glare Led backlit TN panel

    I'll probably get alot of flak for this but;

    Alienware 17 R2

    I7 4980hq
    GTX 980m 4GB
    512 SSD
    1TB 7200 RPM
    1920x1080 Touch capable IPS panel
    Alienware Graphics Amplifier

    I'm from Japan, PC Gaming isn't big here, so my choices are really limited.

    For what I'm looking for;

    Something that'll last 2 years Minimum/Maximum

    A good screen

    Looks/Design is important

    Easy to maintain (repaste and other stuff)

    That's it i guess. Now if you're gonna ask why I considered the AW;

    Really nice IPS panel with touch capabilities.
    Was considering on buying a Titan X or 980ti for the AGA down the line for when im at home.
    That sexy design (WOW! I always thought AWs looked over the top but this one with its sleek, simplistic yet somehow sophisticated design really attracts me lol)

    I don't have experience with Clevos so i cant comment on them.

    Last thing, I recently saw a MSI GT80 Titan (Only model they had came with 4720hq) it's way over my budget ¥500k! f*****g markups. Is it something worth considering? They only have 2 Gt80 models here, 4720hq and 4980hq with the price difference being ¥80k (650usd wtf?) if i choose the 4720 one, I can get it in a day or 2, the 4980 one is gonna take a month.

    So thoughts? Sorry for the wall of text btw lol and hopefully my English doesn't bother you too much.

    Thanks!

    The 980M SLI gives you Titan-X class performance so why wait for the dock ;)

    Each has it's own plus points, it depends how mobile you need it to be, if it will always be at a desk, your budget and storage needs.

    The Sager/clevo will travel a lot better.
