    I am seeking my next laptop to replace my old Dell SXPS 16.
    I know there is a wide gamut screen option, which comes with 95% gamut.

    I am curious the difference with my SXPS 16 RGB LED screen? better or worse? Just afraid I can't adapt the color of new laptop screen. The RGB LED screen has very wide gamut, the color accuracy is not correct, though.

    I also wondering is it possible to upgrade the CPU and GPU in the future with these two models?
    Like i7 3740QM > i7 3940XM
    GTX 670MX > GTX680M

    those hardware upgrades are surely possible, no problem there :) just make sure u go for the p150em, since the p151em does now have a strong enough psu for extreme/highend components.

    as for color accuracy, u can fix that with a proper display calibration, which is definitely recommendable with any high gamut screen.

    Without know the exact panel in your current computer its impossible to compare. If its the stock screen I'd be its a 60% NTSC color gamut as thats industry standard. Going with a 95% is gonna be a nice step up. I've always have heard good things about the 95% options, even plenty of people here.

    The SXPS RGBLED is high gamut and it's an excellent screen.

    Compared to the Matte 95 I would say they are roughly equal.

    However the RGBLED is a matte screen with a gloss panel in front of it which gives slightly better contrast than the plain matte 95.

    I still have some questions.

    1.Should I pick" mSATA mini SSD" or "primary driver SSD" as my OS drive? Is there any different between both?

    2.Should I pick "Intel Advanced-N 6235 WiFi and Bluetooth v4.0"? or just leave it as default "WiFi 802.11AGN and Bluetooth combo"? I have no idea what would be the different.

    3.Does it worth to upgrade the graphic card from 670mx to 7970m? I also heard some people saying there is a drive problem. Has it been solved?
