    I eventually discovered that Vortex II = Sager P150hm, but I was just wondering what the better known name would be for the Vortex III. Alas, despite hours of Googling, I just can't find a Clevo / Sager ____ mention for it.

    Above all else, I'm curious about the build quality & how good the cooling system is, but it's difficult to look up opinions and reviews when I don't know what it's more commonly known as.

    Thanks for replying. I understand that pcspecialist.co.uk are Clevo re-sellers (and the only one in the UK?).

    I'm just curious about what the Sager name is for Vortex III so I that I can search for reviews on that since I can barely find anything when I look up "Vortex III".

    Vortex II 15" = Sager P150hm
    Vortex III 17" = Sager P???

    Judging by specs and photos, it seems to be a P170EM.

    Oh, and by the way, it's Clevo P170EM/Sager NP9170 ;)

    Vortex III would be P150EM, Im guessing.

    EDIT: Wrong guess. Saw the post above me.

    Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Time for me to get reading. :D


    Sorry for assuming otherwise. Just noticed that there are indeed several (including PWN PCs).

    welcome to the world of confusing names and model numbers around the world for each supplier.
    i did produce a list of all the worldwide model names and numbers for old lappys about 3 years ago and am certainly not going through that again :D

    You guys are confusing one another.

    The Vortex III is the newest gen Clevo P1x0EM.

    There is the 15.6" Vortex III and the 17.3" Vortex III ;) proof, same goes with the elder gen Vortex II.

    I hope I helped clear the confusion out :D
    btw PWNPCs have more options in case you wonder, check them out.

    Yes, but the link the op provided is a p170em. Also, yes, check other resellers to see what they can do for you.
