    Introduction
    Second experience with HIDevolution! I ordered an EVOC P750DM2-G as barebones as possible. Check out my previous review: Experience with HIDevolution - EVOC P750DM-G Processor, RAM, Intel wireless card, and SSDs will be transferred by me from the old P750DM-G to this new P750DM2-G upon receipt.

    Specifications as Ordered
    HIDevolution EVOC P750DM2-G
    No Processor
    No RAM
    GTX 1070
    Killer Wireless-AC 1535
    No SSD/HDD
    FHD IPS G-Sync Panel
    No OS
    Standard 1-year warranty (HIDevolution will transfer 2-year extended warranty from my old P750DM-G)

    Timeline of Purchase
    August 15, 2016
    E-mailed Donald Stratton asking wtf is going on with MXM upgrades for the P750DM-G, replies back telling me to ask again in September when everything is clear.

    August 29, 2016
    E-mailed Donald again asking about buying a P750DM2-G as barebones as possible, plus if he could hook me up by transferring my old extended warranty from the P750DM-G to the P750DM2-G.

    August 30, 2016
    Donald replies that they can honor the request to transfer the warranty. I place order, following Donald's instructions. Order enters "Pending Review" state. Received PayPal invoice for total before NBR discount.

    August 31, 2016
    Sent Donald e-mail asking why my invoice price doesn't have NBR discount applied. Quickly receive corrected PayPal invoice with the NBR discount applied. Paid immediately.

    September 5, 2016
    Order updated to "Payment Review Complete." Order has note added that my payment was received via PayPal.

    September 8, 2016
    Order is marked "Pre-Production"

    September 9, 2016
    Order is marked "Parts/Product On Order" for "EVOC Logo on LCD Cover and Bezel." I call Donald asking for clarification. He asks production staff, tells me that they estimate shipment today or Monday (September 12) but cannot confirm if the missing EVOC labels are the hold-up.

    September 12, 2016 - In Production!
    Order is marked "In Production." I e-mail Donald, receive response saying that it is finished (including EVOC labels) but will ship tomorrow.

    September 13, 2016 - Order Shipped!
    Received an automated e-mail that my order has shipped by FedEx right before close of business.

    September 17, 2016 - Laptop Received!
    Transferred all the parts from my old EVOC P750DM-G with no issues. Also took the time to delid my Core i5-6600K and apply Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra. Everything is working so far. Going to load Windows 7 on it later today.

    Such great customer service allowing you to transfer the warranty to the new system! That's your best choice at this point rather than waiting to upgrade *if* that was ever possible although I highly doubt it.

    I plan to do the same thing as you exactly when they get the 120hz panels with GSYNC soon ;)

    @splashy talk with sales. If you have an active NotebookReview account they may offer you a small discount.
