    Sager's top line, the NP9150 has been around for a while, same for the 17 inch NP9170. There was however new models of the 17 inch, NP9370, and soon NP9375 (Clevo P375). This has me puzzeled as to why they would only update the chassis of the 17 inch but not the 15 inch. I do like the 17 inch chassis and if that could be scaled down into the 15 inch, I would feel more interested in them. Any idea if this is planned or will it be same old same old for the 15 inch Sager?

    uve mixed up different model lines there :)

    p150 - single gpu 15" (np9150)
    p170 - single gpu 17" (np9170)
    p37x - dual gpu 17" mobile cpu (np9370)
    p57x - dual gpu 17" desktop cpu (np9570)

    usually, the p150/p170 are refreshed first, which is going to be due soon when haswell is officially released (swapping out EM with SM series).
    the dual gpu systems are usually released some time later, thus summer/fall would be the time frame this year.

    cheers

    Sager usually does an annual refresh in line with new CPU / GPU releases, and it hasn't even been a year yet. Sometimes uses the same chassis, sometimes not. I believe the P157SM should use a similar design for a 15 inch as the P375SM.

    The 15 inch versions are due out in the next month, 17 inch I have no idea but usually follows after 15 inch.

    Some pics, not sure what to think of the touchpad with lit symbol or whatever you want to call it but overall not to shabby.

    Yeah, what *IS* that symbol. It doesn't seem to represent anything. Kinda odd.
