    170EM is going to be the strongest recently released Clevo. The older X7200 can use SLI/CFX and is functioning with the 7970M's so it's gonna be pretty powerful also. Supposedly the P370EM is due around August and will be a SLI/CFX machine with a mobile provessor (Alienware M18x competitior)..

    Will it be 17" or 18" like the Alienware model?
    I mean i do like the sound of a desktop killer like this but im scared Clevo will use the 15" keyboard on that model too.

    The P150EM is the same "strength" as the P170EM, is it not? The P170EM has room for an extra hard drive bay, but the GPU and CPU's are the same.

    I owned an Alienware m17x R3 but wasn't crazy about it. The P170EM has a full length keyboard. I have spent hours of reading before deciding. I'm a computer tech. I've never owned clevo before but I've seen one and it felt great. Every year they improve a bit.

    That's what I thought. Is there any other difference which would effect the performance?

    Should be a 17".. There's a thread on here with a bit of info and a pic or two..

    Edit: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/665787-clevo-p370em.html

    They can use the same internals but the 170EM also allows for overclocking I the XM processors. Larger PSU too, but supposedly that's not a limiting factor.

    It has the same keyboard as the 15" so it's not going to be a "full size" for a 17" laptop unfortunately..

    Could we define "strength"? I keep picturing a 170EM benching 200lbs.

    Strength In regards of motherboard chipset, connectivity, number of hard drives it can support, upgrade-ability etc.

    The Motherboard chipset is the HM77. The same chipset used by pretty much everyone that's using Ivy Bridge Processors.

    Connectivity depends on the WiFi NIC you're using, but the stock NIC is an AzureWave combo card. Which is single band (2.4 GHz) I have yet to hear of connectivity issues, but the speed is limited to 150MBs.

    The p170 EM can support 3 HDDs, one of which is an mSATA drive.

    As with all Sager/Clevo models, upgradability is where these systems shine. Easy to do and won't void your warranty.

    All of these answers are available on the internet.

    Nope sorry, it has the same one as the P150EM.

    P170EM can overclock XM cpu's.

    A certain online petition thread would like to disagree with you...

    Why thank you. Let's put it this way: I have very strange sleep habits influenced by a strange school schedule, and I live in a time zone that's somewhat off from everyone else. But the real reason is that I'm making up for all the times that my 3DS wouldn't let me use the multi-quote button now that I have access to a semi-reliable, more modern computer (I finally persuaded my dad to ditch his pentium 4 desktop with 256MB ram and a 20GB HDD in favor of something that could run windows 7, just my luck he bought something that had such a stupid case design that it took me an hour and a lot of scratches on my thumb just to put in an HD5450) :p

    The P170EM is the best Clevo model (possibility to SLI/CF).

    for raw power I'd say go X7200 for now, but that's strictly for professionals in the domain where they would need all the muscle they can lay their hands on.

    But for extreme gamers the P170EM is more than enough muscle for anyone, the next line up would fill the SLI/CF shoe but so far the strongest single card solution is the P170EM.

    The 17" screen is definitely an advantage for gaming, but for being almost the same except the screen size, I think I'm gonna go with 9150 for just a little bit more portability ;)
