    Is there another reseller that sells GTX 970m desktop replacement laptops?

    No turdbooks either.

    I would like to know if anyone has found anyone selling a new 970m 6gb laptop with a desktop skylake processor?

    I'm only able to find Eurocom and I may have to cancel my order due to having to get a wire transfer to them since I don't have a credit card and I don't live in Canada. Eurocom is the only reseller so far that doesn't have a stupid high price for it or even sells it from what I know so far.

    Why do you want a 970M? Its obsolete now... Also the price you.would pay for one would get a GTX 1060 which is much better..

    Most likely the 1060 would end up in a BGA laptop which is not what I'm not going for and unfortunately the desktop replacement laptops with one are out of my affordability for now.

    I would go with a 1060 if I could, but most of the games I'll play will run well on ultra settings at 60fps and some recent releases shouldn't be too demanding for me unless I turn down AA, which isn't the setting I would max out.

    I'm not following the issue. Is it not possible to pay Eurocom by wire transfer? Have you already spoken with @Eurocom Support to see if there is a solution?

    If there is a problem that cannot be resolved due to lack of a credit card, you can always call and speak to @Donald@HIDevolution and let him know what you are looking for and see what their options are for payment. They can possibly do a custom configuration for you that starts with a barebones. http://www.hidevolution.com/

    I agree with @TomJGX that 1060 would be better than 970M.

    And, kudos to you for rejecting all BGA turdbooks. They are definitely inferior products. You are wise to refuse to purchase one.
