    I am willing to buy a sager laptop and I will be using it for games only.
    I will be buying either np8278s or np9377s. Any suggestion would be very appreciated.
    I can afford both laptops but my heart is moving towards np9377s :)
    I will be going for gtx 980. My question is if in future I decide to upgrade my gpu to sli graphic cards by my self by buying another gtx 980, wether it will be possible or not?
    any help will be much appreciated regarding choosing the best laptop and specs?
    Sorry for my bad english.

    If you think you will be going SLI later the NP9377 will be the one to go with since the NP8278 only supports one GPU. Yes you can add it later yourself as long as its a Clevo 980M.

    I would go for the Sager NP9772... The 8278 is being discontinued so support might be troublesome.. The 9772 is a superior laptop, has a i7-4790K desktop processor, 1080p LG IPS screen, support for newer M2 SSD's etc..

    The 9377s is the more capable of the two machines. Both are solid, but if you want the potential for dual graphics at any point in the future, the 9377s will be able to do it, while the 8278s won't be able to. Even if you don't want dual graphics, the 9377s is a great machine.

    With a lack of optimus you can do some fun things like overclocking displays too :) Battery life is obviously lower with higher weight but that's up to you what is important.
