    Gents,

    Clevo newb here. I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the HM and the HM1. In looking at the Malibal site's comparison, they appear exactly the same and yet there must be a difference to account for the base price difference. It's probably something simple but even Google has had no answer for me. Thanks in advance for your help.

    vid card options, the p150HM could handle 580m, 6990m as well as the power brick being larger.

    I think there are also some cosmetic differences in the casing.

    Ah, that explains that. It doesn't look like Malibal is offering the 6990m at the moment, so the specs appear identical. Are the 6990's in short supply or have the resellers stopped stocking them in anticipation of the EM?

    In addition to the above, the P150HM casing is rubberized material while the P151HM is hard plastic. Coupled with the larger power supply, I'm fairly certain the differences end there.

    not sure why though, almost all of the resellers stopped offering the 6990m as soon as the refresh started a couple of weeks back

    you could contact them directly though to inquire about it.
