    I currently have a P57w for review. This is a new notebook Gigabyte announced at CES 2016. Here is Gigabyte's specs page.

    It's not quite as robust as the P37W v5. By comparison, the P57W uses a 3GB GTX 970M instead of a 6GB; has only one M.2 2280 slot instead of two; and doesn't have keyboard macro keys. The design is different in minor ways. The weight and overall dimensions are about the same.

    Specs - 17.3" 1920x1080 IPS anti-glare, Core i7-6700HQ, Nvidia GTX 970M 3GB, 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM. $1,699 MSRP.

    I should have the unit for a little while. If you're interested in this notebook, and have questions or comments - please ask away.

    EDIT: review is now posted:
