    You can pull the tablet off, and still be using the same Windows machine on the tablet with all of it's power, just over wireless with a direct RDC connection. It's the same Win 8 install, both on the tablet and on the computer.

    I don't understand why you think it's so bad; you obviously don't get it.

    Ha ha, yeah sorry about that they will work soon, hoped they won't do a lunch brake before though, they are not very consistent in updating their servers...and I can't really upload them as they should be in public space first. ;)

    Shame doesn't look like a new design, aside from the msata and smaller power brick, looks like msi will be offering something nicer than clevo this year with the GE60 and GE70, they could still surprise us with a 765m instead of the 760m but I wouldn't hold my breath on that, looks like they are sticking with the non backlit keyboard as well, and msi has stepped up in that regard, I was hoping clevo would bring something new to the "budget gaming" laptop scene, looks like they opted for lazy refresh over innovation .
    Lets hope I am wrong, but seems to me we might have to wait till next year to get a proper refresh, one that actually brings something new to the table .

    What sort of information do we have on Clevo's dual-GPU Haswell product i.e. p370em's replacement? I'm looking at getting a p157sm once released, but would like to consider all options...

    Thanks, that's great they already have documentation on it.

    Any idea when it will be launched?
    Which "Model" (A, B, C) in the manual is the dual-GPU laptop?

    All three are dual GPU. A is the successor, same body new hardware. B is their gamer appeal one. New body, sleeker look, slightly better cooling, front facing camera, array microphones, etc. C is their 3d model, with the older style body.

    Check Page 37 for the chart, and 39-42 for the physical differences.

    I wonder if you could get the B model with the 3D emitter built in... If not, I bet you can at least get B with the 120hz screen.

    The B model looks really interesting, almost an Asus G-series (which I'm a fan of since having a G73) with dual GPUs. Don't see the utility of the back LEDs, but I'm sure you can turn them off.

    These new models can't come soon enough - question is how long after June 10 will they be available?

    well, availability doesnt always come right away with actual delivery ;) after such major launches u can always expect a waiting period of like1-2 months since the backlog of orders will be a mile long, with everyone wanting to get their hands on the new hardware :D

    That P375 looks like an awful love child of the Asus G75 and the Alienware M17x. Those LEDs, lol. Seems like they have two cameras too.

    I guess unless there's a way to remove or turn off those lights, there's gonna be a lot of unhappy campers. It's too bad, cause if it wasn't for those lights, the new design would be beautiful, IMO.

    I was looking on several retailers sites today (iBuyPower, CyberpowerPC, and Sager Notebook) and i noticed that they have completely removed almost all of the 15" and 17" notebooks from their sites. Now I may not be an expert in retail or buisness, but to me the clearing out of a majority of their stock can only mean that they are making way for new products. Seeing as Clevo's are a majority of what they sell on those sites I think that can only be good news for the people of this forum :D

    In short the reviews are disappointing. Besides the extra mSATA slot and matte bezel i dont really see much improvement from the EM series.

    The ones that were pointed out in the past - touchpad, keyboard, sound (both internal and external), battery life (haswell supposedly focused on power savings and nothing), noise. The power brick could also be made smaller and slimmer like the Alienware Delta PSU.

    Im not saying these arent great notebooks (ive had the D900F, P150HM, P151EM and W110ER myself), but i just dont see much improvement from the previous generation.

    Yes it seams the 17" models got an improvement in sound especially the flashier P177SM.
    The 15" models disappointed again with their poor sound though.

    Looks like the reviews did not use the final heatsink revision though and they are using p375sm style heatsinks on the flashy models.

    If the keyboard is in the class of the D900F it'll be fine for me. The touchpad just has to be usable without being annoying for me, as I'll mainly be using a mouse. The sound should be nice, though I use a USB headset. The power brick I have no issues with. If nothing else, it's a weapon in times of dire need ;)

    Once it's nice and cool I'm good.

    This gen is even thicker (5cm/2in). Is this because of the higer TDP GPU?

    Also another decision i cant understand is they stripped the non-bling versions of its DVI-I, which was its only analog video output.

    So forget using these for business meetings, presentations, etc. where youd find older projectors as you wont be able to hook it up.

    IIRC you can get dp to vga adapters. The analogue connectors take up a lot of space.
