    Check it out, Gigabyte has unveiled a 17.3 inch ultraportable at CES.
    CES 2015 | The Gigabyte P37X is the world's lightest 17.3-inch gaming laptop

    My gripe here is that the Clevo P670SE/G (Sager NP8671/2) have similar specs and are cheaper. But if the Gigabyte offerings are not heat throttled and have decent battery life, then it would be an interesting playing field between them and the GS70, X7 Pro, an updated Y70 etc.

    Hopefully they learn their lesson on previous revision of those systems you've listed but based on their track record I doubt it. I'll believe it when I see it. With that said, I'm really hoping they do.

    Supposed to be next month (February). I can't wait. It was between this and the X7 Pro, but I decided I wanted the extra battery life this should offer.

    Are there high temps with this model and does the bigger chassis help with temps?
    I know the P35X struggles to keep temps in check.

    It's not released and nobody has reviewed it yet, so we really don't know.

    I realize that, what I meant was has this bigger chassis shown better cooling results in past generations compared to the smaller sized but similar hardware based laptops.

    Oh. As far as I know, however, there is no previous generation P37. This is the first year. In theory, that should hold true about temps, but it's hard to say with these slim notebooks.

    HIDevolution has it available for pre-order on their site now. It says late February release. Hopefully this is just a placeholder or something, because the price for those specs is a little hard to justify. For $2000 it doesn't come with any mSata installed and only 8GB of ram. After adding a couple mSatas and upgrading to 16GB of ram, you're at the price of an X7 Pro.
