    does anyone know what is the difference between these three specially in the 10sf models?

    I read on amazon that the GP has usb 3.2 and extra m.2 slot compared to the GL while I am sure they are both 2 x m.2

    The GP is an extra $100 over the GL for what ?

    Can anyone give me a run down on the differences? as they all look to have the same 65 chassis.

    Thanks

    I mean The

    GP/GL/GE 65 all have the same cooling same chassis?

    I mean I see nothing in that chart between the 65 models its only the 66 with some differences.

    Why should I choose the GE over the GL or over the GP??

    No one seems to know the real difference.

    GP/GL/GE All are very similar their main objective is to make these series slimmer and lighter. GT and GX are normally heavier and more bulky because they have upgradable parts, at least its how it was in the past. GT series normally come with Nvidia and GX normally comes with AMD Radeon. Im not sure if they still stick to these rules but its how it was at least.

    The real difference is in the price..
    And less RGB, and smaller storage and RAM, crappier displays and up until recently the cheaper ones never had a Win10 license.

    Yea, after some asking around and asking Jarrod, it is kinda confirmed that the difference between the High end GL/GP and the GE is not much.

    GL being the most cut down it has only one M.2, same cooling and same keyboard and same screen as the rest (If you go with 2070) GP has 2 m.2 with same stuff as GE but I think no 240hz option, GE has a better chassis design but same cooling and better screen.

    So if you want only 144hz and maybe a single m.2, the cheapest 2070 one will perform equally to the GE75.

    Thats why they revised the pricing and you can find a 10th gen 2070 GE for around 1800 instead of the obscene old price of 2200

    The GE and GT series are the only lines that come with the built in ESS Sabre Hi-Fi DAC.
