    Not really sure what kind of answer you're looking for. If you checked other reseller sites, you know the price is low. Only you can determine if the machine as configured is "worth it's price", but if you like Clevo's in the 17" format, and you've determined you need at least the 770M GPU, you'd be hard pressed to find a better value.

    Seems like a good deal. Much lower than my np8275-s. The new Sagers may come out in one to four months, but they don't seem that different.

    I am on mobile, so I don't see the photo linked above...

    I assume you have read reviews and checked the owners thread. So the final decision is yours.
