    Hi NBC, I am a long-time lurker, and finally first time poster :).

    I was wondering why so many retailers/resellers of Clevo/Sager notebooks do not have the 6970M option for the graphics card.

    I checked all (2 or so) of the Canadian distributors and only the Eurocom Racer has an option for it (sadly it is quite expensive when compared to other retailers, and also I've been reading a lot of flak about their service).

    Is there a stock shortage?

    Hey friend.

    Look at these. MALIBAL has canada support/shipping.

    MALIBAL LOTUS 15.6'' P150HM

    MALIBAL Satori 17.3'' P170HM

    And also, I've read that LPC-Digital, XoticPC, and Mythologic are very nice about special requests (so long as parts are in stock). Just shoot them a pm or email and ask them directly with a link to your desired machine. Hope that helps.

    The reliability rate on the 6970M gpu just wasn't up to the standard Sager wanted so they did stop offering that model. The 6990M is now available and has been a great card.
