    I sure hope so. Or even if there aren't any "official" 120hz variants that the panel holes line up with existing or future 120hz options.

    Yes we will offer 120Hz FHD and QHD. Working on 4K 120Hz too. This is EUROCOM model Q7.

    Also, will you be offering the 7820HK with this model? Many places I see with this only offer the 7700hq...

    Can someone confirm this model and its less colorful clone (PA71HS-G) come with a 230 Watt adapter? Most resellers are listing with a 230 Watt, but a couple with 200 Watt which to me seems inadequate for a GTX 1070 laptop under full load...

    Eurocom just emailed me back. I just asked them now through email if the 7820HK will be offered. Will post back when I get response. Also, didn't even realize the PA71 and PA70 were different. Apparently the latter has red accents around the exhaust grill

    Full fat 1070 if I'm not mistaken. That's what retailers are advertising.

    There is no option for eating the 2.5" bay with a larger set of cells no.

    They probably had thoughts about it or have future plans as the existing battery lines up perfectly with the bay.

    hey guys should i wait for this model with 60hz or get the p650hs-g with 120hz, can't afford the 120 hz on the pa70hs-g $445 is asking too much.
    What are the benefits of the pa70hs-g besides the screen size and thunderbolt 3.0?
    Appreciate the opinions!
    edit: forgot to add that i will mostly be using the laptop for gaming

    Here are the specs for me:

    7820HK probably 8820HK in the future
    120Hz display with at least QHD resolution
    GTX 1070
    256GB M.2 SSD + 1 TB HDD - I already have the HDD
    16 GB of RAM
    Intel Wireless
    Windows 10 Pro

    Am I missing anything ?

    Cause they are not offering it.

    I could estimate it if I knew if it's Optimus or not.

    According to Sager Website, it has user switchable. Sounds like the same reboot/in BIOS setup that is in the P650HS-G

    So it has both G-sync and Optimus. that's perfect.

    Edit: According to my algorithm, on Optimus it should get you 4 - 6 hours of moderate usage.

    6-8 hours, similar to the Aero 15.

    Does anyone know if this model has the annoying CPU fan always running at idle? Also, what are the Temps like on this model?

    I don't think it's possible to have Optimus and G-Sync at the same time. This has what's branded as "Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Mode" so you'll have to reboot to switch back and forth (unlike Optimus which auto switches between the dGPU and iGPU depending on load).

    EDIT: Apparently "Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Mode" automatically switches back and forth between the dGPU and iGPU for the OS and applications. I'm not sure if this means it's specific to what applications support it.
