    Hey guys,
    So i've recently been looking at the Clevo gaming laptops and I've narrowed it down to these two models. I'm mainly going to be using the laptops for gaming and was just wondering which one I should go for. The models are also both roughly the same price $2600~ AUD I'm not really willing to spend anything close to $3000 AUD.

    Now the main differences are that the P650HS-G has an 15.3" FHD 120hz screen whilst the PA70HS-G model has an 17.3" FHD 60hz screen. I also know that the PA70HS-G is a newer chassis however which supports the thunderbolt 3.0 combo ports. What do you guys think? is the newer chassis worth downgrading the screen?

    Are you sure the PA70HS has a Max-Q card? The 17" chassis should accommodate the full 1070. HIDevolution says the PA7xHS has a full 1070.

    Wrong info. PA70HS-g does not have the Max-Q gimmicky. It houses the usual 1070.
