    Just ordered my first Clevo! P170EM with a GTX 675MX! Really excited to play with this! The 260M GTX I've been using is just so old!

    Anything you guys suggest doing first with it?

    I did but I was also very attached to the 675MX. For me its the perfect price combo to performance since on the SLi I didn't want a 680. I also found out they were not offering that card on the SLi format for the 370 so I went down to it on the 170. The 680 was a bit too much. I could live much better with the Optimus than the Enduros so the 675MX also trumped the 7970 in that respect. I appreciate your help!

    Hope you get the most out of it! Only thing I would recommend is a SSD to replace that platter drive. The iSSD won't do much for you when it comes to gaming.

    It's still a stellar system, regardless. :thumbsup:

    Congratulations!

    I absolutely had no regrets when I bought my Clevo, they are amazing machines (although i have a few complaints, it still shines when compared to other laptops).

    And wow, they're out with the 675MX and the 3630QM? I haven't been here in a while....
