    I bought this laptop from PWN PCS:

    Sager NP 9150 / Clevo P150EM - Extreme Performance Custom Gaming Laptop
    Screen: 15.6" 1080p Full HD Matte 95% NTSC Colour Gamut
    Screen Calibration: SPYDER 4 Professional screen calibration
    Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce GTX 675M 2.0GB GDDR5 with Optimus switchable graphics
    CPU: Intel Core i7 Quad Core 2760QM 2.4GHZ
    Thermal Compund: IC DIAMOND / Arctic Silver Thermal Compund on CPU and GPU
    RAM: 8GB DDR3 (1600) Dual Channel
    Hard Drive: 120GB Intel SSD (520)
    Optical Drive: 6x BLURAY Writer

    And i just wanted to mention, that Scott from PWN PCS was very helpful during build of notebook and even though there was a slight delay, he offered to deliver notebook manually to save some time on normal delivery (i live not far from London and it was friday when build was complete, so i would normally receive notebook on monday or so, but i got it on friday thanks to Scott).

    I too have ordered a p150em from PWN PCS... They seem to be one of the very few resellers that allow you to customize your build without CPU /RAM /HDD, which makes it a lot cheaper for me as I already have all those from my previous laptop. In addition they are allowing me to pick it up from their shop on the day 7970Ms arrive.
    Spec of my baby:
    Screen: 15.6" 1080p Full HD Matte 95% NTSC Colour Gamut
    Screen Calibration: SPYDER 4 Professional screen calibration - Requires Windows
    Dead Pixel Guarantee - For full systems only: None
    Graphics Card: AMD HD 7970M 2GB DDR5 - PRE ORDER - EARLY JUNE
    CPU: None (2920xm oem going in)
    Thermal Compund: IC DIAMOND / Arctic Silver Thermal Compund on CPU and GPU
    RAM: No RAM (16gb 1600mhz going in from my old machine)
    Hard Drive: No hard drive (240gb OCZ Agility 3 from my old lappy)
    Optical Drive: Optical Bay Caddy
    Second HDD: No Second Hard Drive
    MSATA SSD Drives: No MSATA Drive
    Connectivity: 802.11BGN WiFi + Bluetooth Combo Card
    Keyboard - Non UK may add to build time: UK Backlit
    Operating System: No operating system
    Power Cord: UK Standard Power Cord
    Warranty: 2 Year Warranty RTB on case and components, 1 year on screen, 9 months batteries

    all at a very reasonable price of £951!

    Yes! It's perfect, the cheapest EU reseller (as far as I'm aware of :p) do give you this option!

    Respect from here ;) planning on either buying a P150EM or W110ER from them hehe

    Guys, if i can add my 0.2, go for PwnPcs.

    pau1ow is a great person, a great friend, as well as Mr.Scott, they're super nice, available, and if theres something they can do to make peoples happy, they will.

    Beside their prices are reasonable enough, even cheaper than others, and their services are nothing but OUTSTANDING.

    Total thumbs up for you guys. I know you're "fresh" in the business but your professional way to work is awesome and it deserves credits.

    Althought im the "Clevo plague" (lol) of this days, they got my approvation in every possible way. :)

    Cheers guys ! All your support is very (very) appreciated!

    We don't have yet a proper ETA for the 7970M I'm afraid - as soon as we've got some news, you will be the 1st noticed :)

    Thanks everyone for your kind words, it really is appreciated. We do it as much for you guys as we do for ourselves. I know how hard it can be to spend a lot of money on a laptop that you've never seen before and I wanted to do my best to break down that barrier with PWN PCs.

    Thats why on our site you can choose what you want, no 'you have to have this or you have to have that' as well as a friendly knowledgable team I hope to make you guys as comfortable as possible spending your hard earned cash. I put a lot of time and effort into each individual build, I test each one and if I'm not happy with the temperatures through Vantage I take it apart and re-paste it. It's really nice to hear that this work is all appreciated!

    Glad to see Paul getting some credit too, he's not only employed as our French connection he's also very, very keen to mod his own laptops so we can see what we can do, how we can do it and if we can offer it to you guys.

    Zett, I'm glad your happy mate! Felt bad when we had a delay on the 675! I was more than happy to come out and deliver!




    Oh.. just one more thing..

    We may just have a 7970M modded and running in a non-clevo. Might be for sale pretty soon..

    I tried asking them if they have it for component sales before but what they told me is they can get the Dell version of the HD7970M and later I asked them if the Clevo version of the HD 7970M will be available for component sales this year what they told me is it'll only be sold within a Barebone :(. Looks like I have to look somewhere if I'm upgrading mine.

    Agreed, PWNPCS just "PWN" the prices around EU resellers ! I cancelled my order from French reseller to buy at them ! :D

    This should probably be moved to the resellers reviews section.
