    Title says it all. download the attachment and have a look. the main differences i can see are the inclusion of a small LCD screen outside the case, and a slightly different chasis design. now i know the 865 has been available at clevo's site for a while now, but we cant really see the main differences between 865 and 860. this time there are pictures but the rest of the specs remain the same (or almost the same).

    Edit: PDF Updated, must have got corrupted during upload.

    Anyone else having trouble opening the attached file? I keep getting either a "damaged file" or "invalid object" error messages.

    :p

    There seems to be no difference at all other then some teaks in design and finish. It has the same specs as an m860tu. Or am i wrong?

    inb4 gophn says "GUYS. You didn't read my guide! the last number in product name is the color code, for aesthetics. Therefore, this is probably a redesign of the chasis, nothing else. Although maybe they'll adress the HD heating problem someway." in a more profesional way.

    I would have been more happy with a new M570TU design. I really like the M860TU design and didn't see any need for change.

    Adjustable(or snap on, snap off) vents around the CPU, GPU, and HDD would be nice. Off topic: Where can I get a new bottom panel (tried the Sager site but wasnt listed).

    Off topic answer: I got one of mine by calling Sager directly and also one from Xotic by calling/emailing their service department. ;)

    Yeah i dont see much difference at all other then that 1inch strip along the botom of the lid(which doesnt look that good) and the textured palmrest, definitely nothing to cancel your order for . Its to bad the resellers dont offer the 1440x900 screens like they have listed though.
