Hi
I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop and have been considering Clevo/Sager as I've heard a lot of good things about them. I've been playing with some specs and wanted opinions on the below one, just incase something doesnt look right or could be swapped out for a much better option. Please have a look and let me know your thoughts.
Sager NP9170 / Clevo P170EM
- 17.3" FHD 16:9 "Matte Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Screen w/ 72% NTSC Color Gamut (1920x1080)

- Standard Dead Pixel Policy

- IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU

- 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (4 SODIMMS) -

- 256gb Crucial M4 Series Solid State Drive (SSD2 Serial-ATA III)

- No Thanks, Please do not Overclock my system (Overclocking will add 3-6 business days to build time)
I'm contemplating a 2x 256GB SSD setup as I don't need or use a lot of storage. The first SSD will be used for Windows, MS Office, and any other general applications. The second SSD will be used for Games / Music / Videos / Backup. I saw in the Storage Drives sticky that the M4 is highly rated and recommended, it's also bang/buck one of the best ratio's at about USD0.8 per MB.
Any comments/ideas/suggestions?
Oh and also does anyone own one of these machines? Is it rock solid / good built quality / how's the keyboard / noise levels under load etc?
