    Hi guys! When are the new Sager models coming? And what kind of graphics cards are they expected to be decked out with vis-a-vis the current AMD 6990M? The current 6990M is an amazing card at a fantastic value. Do you think its worth waiting till the lineup of cards is refreshed with the new Nvidias considering that they tend to offer a lot less value for money? In other words, will the new cards be more powerful than the 6990M and be around the same price?

    Sometime in April:
    P150EM, P170EM (Ivy bridge + backlit keyboards)

    Also in April:
    Nvidia Keplar (desktop). Unknown if Keplar will hit mobile flavors in that same month, however.


    Also: Someone needs to make a sticky on these models and when they're coming. Every day (or close to it) there is someone asking about them.

    The 660M, 670M, and 675M are for sure coming in April. Asus and MSI are also scheduled to release machines featuring all of these GPUs in that month.

    It must be stated, that Clevo/Sager/Whoever else have said nothing about when major announcements will be made. It's all a guessing game right now. Then there's also knowing the difference between when preorders will begin, and when machines actually begin shipping to customers.

    Don't go into this expecting you have a shiny new Clevo in your hands before the month of May, at the earliest.
