It's pretty sad that no one can clearly answer this as I've seen you ask this several times, yet no one has replied to it with a defined answer LOL. I mean come on....if other vendors like AW with its new refresh (FHD, QHD and 4K w/ 120Hz Gsync Panel offerings) are offering panels that are not available on Clevo's (and resellers) then what's up with that
right? Just saying....
Okay now generally speaking (thinking/speaking out loud here
for the general public)....
If I was a small vendor keeping the DTR / Benchmark Only enthusiasts alive, I would be on the "A" game in providing hardware components on the cutting edge w/ engineering that can provide results in mind for the community that DOES EXIST [according to the % of their (OEM's) total sales], COMPARED TO THE MAJORITY OF THE CONSUMERS who buy AW, MSI, ASUS, Acer, etc.... As a DTR provider I would not slack one bit in providing all the NECESSARY hardware such as a 120Hz / GSYNC screen......Hands down. Cut and dry. Point Blank.
So is it that the people who buy the Clevo's now with the crappy panels (well that's subjective of course) get doomed, while in a few months time when the better panels come out, it leaves the early adopters in the SOL, aka, dust? Real talk. No BS, straight black and white, clear and inarguable...ie...legitimate question.
Let's be realistic now...This is a legitimate concern and very realistic....just to emphasize.
The 775 is on the top of my list and my wallet is waiting....just to be clear and for the record; I don't condone bga by any means and I love the flexibility of LGA/MXM, but lets talk real life scenarios here vs. trying to enlarge my virtual e-peeen that does not matter to anyone or anyone else, but only to the simple meaningless internet. (ie...one spends their hard earned money for themselves and on practicality, not to enlarge their e-peen__s. Let's be real.)
Look at my sig....AW is SOLD SOLD SOLD. Gone gone gone. I'm not loyal to any brand....I just want practicality and results. If a 870 can't even cool a 1080 to respectable figures, then where does that steer a potential / serious buyer like me with my cash waiting to be released? Seriously....
That's why I've asked before....would buying a DM3 (with its heat sink) be more wise in that it would be able to cool a single 1080 better than a DM2 with a different/lesser of a heat sink?
No brand loyalty folks...my money is going to where performance and cooling proves itself.
So no fan boy BULL$#!% here. Just straight up real talk / practicality / sensibility.
Again, my AW is SOLD LOL... The 17R3 served me well on my frequent trips, but now with Pascal in bga form and DTR's and Gaming Laptops being in the same boat (1080 vs 1080, no more 980M vs 980)....that obviously makes anyone with a brain think twice as the GAP has narrowed to 1:1.....Yes I've said it. Real world, real talk....gaming wise a 6920HK/1080 with a 6700K/1080 (with the SAME GPU) will be pretty much neck to neck. (Unless the BIOS is fluffed to rubbish....yea yea yea. I get it...and if any OEM does that to the BIOS, shame on them and t
hey WON'T get my money. Nein. Nein. Nein. 100% Guaranteed.)
* Note: I truly need portability since I travel 1-2x per month. Yes no joke. That's every month out of 12 months out of the year. This is why a DTR is important to me, let alone I video edit, render and game, which makes "having true power," make sense to my usage habits.
I'm not just sitting here at my desk with my DTR on top of an AC trying to bench to enlarge my e-peen_is; which I totally respect for the art of the sport, but more so my usage is much more practical in terms of portability and in respect to what DTR's were design for in the first place.
I truly need the power.
So tell me straight...what would be my best choice for practicality?
Let me answer that:
The practical choice would be for me to go with who ever provides the power, performance, endurance, reliability, support, and
WARRANTY that would make me feel, as a CONSUMER, confident in that my investment is well protected in terms of having the best warranty coverage at the tap of my fingers at any given time.
Can any Clevo/Reseller provide that? Well, to be fair some are offering a standard 2 year warranty, but the main question is, would they be able to provide warranty services on par with Dell? NO. Flat out NO. Therefore, that leaves Dell/Dellianware/Alienware in a class of its own, which is the
BEST IN THE INDUSTRY. (So now, having a beefy Desktop + a respectable Laptop for on the go sound more attracting than ever yea? Don't lie...because for the price of a DTR you know that is true and there's no wiggling out of that fact.)
Yes for the record let me present a NEW CLASS of Laptops......"A class of its own called,
WGA, "Warranty Grid Array,"......forget
ball brid array or
land grid array for a minute.
Instead think in terms of providing the best protection for your investment, which a warranty that makes your purchase worry free.
So you tell me....
Where should my MONEY go....?
I really am liking the 775, really am....really really am....775 or heck even the 870.
I'm not loyal to any brand, instead I measure
practicality in respect to my investment WITHOUT trying to enlarge my 'e-peen_is' that means NOTHING to my life and my investment.

I am genuinely interested, because that same config that you've ordered is what I have my eye's on right now as my #1 pick.
