    So I just placed an order through ibuypower for their "Tundra P1-700M " which is a rebranded Clevo P170HM. Wouldn't normally buy through ibuypower - I hear their customer service isn't so hot - but they sell through the Army/Air Force Exchange (AAFES) so it was a good deal. Looking forward to it here are the specs:


    I currently have an Asus G73JH-A2, which is no slouch at all when it comes to gaming, but it's given me a LOT of trouble (overheating, driver problems, and the infamous GSOD that no fix worked for, I can normally fix about anything but this was just a little much). I took it with my to Afghanistan last time I deployed and it's never been the same since (probably has to do with sucking a pound of sand through the thing). I owned a Sager NP5790 a long while ago, and to this day it's the best laptop I've ever owned. In fact I sold it to a buddy of mine over there and he's still there using it now, he tells me it's going strong. It just got me thinking I need another laptop that was built on a clevo, something that will actually last me. Can't wait until this beast arrives!

    Thanks guys! Have any of your heard anything specific on the company I bought through. In the past I know they've had a not so hot rep but I realize things change. Figured I'd go out on a limb with them.
