Have you found any benchmarks that compare the performance between the 2 mobile versions and their desktop versions, just to see what the actual performance differences are?

I only know that the 980 is 25-30% faster. The desktop versions are faster anyway.
Here's a comparison between a mobile 970 and a desktop 970: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-...eForce-GTX-970
The guy from the shop meant the 970M might be fine for the next 3 years.

Have to decide today before 23:59 when the offer is over :hmmm:
Wow! According to the review above, the 970m is 33% slower than a desktop 970 in Crysis 3. - That's quite significant.Quote:

Yes, but that will be probably end of 2016. The Clevo barebones are not gonna change anymore this year, I checked that. I wanted to buy this laptop already since 2 years, so at some point I should buy it, instead of waiting all the time.Quote:

I saw a comparison now of The Division, ran at lowest settings and at highest settings, the difference was barely visible, only shadows were better, but the rest, imo, was totally not really visible. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL0ru8F4ECQ
I ordered it yesterday, here's the specs:
Guru STORM Slim
- 17,3 inch FullHD LED TFT 1920x1080 NonGlare IPS
- Intel Core i7-6700HQ
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX970M (6144MB GDDR5)
- 16 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM 2133MHz HyperX Impact (2x8)
- 250GB Samsung 850 EVO m.2 SSD
- 2000GB Samsung Spinpoint 5400rpm HDD
- Intel Wireless Dual Band-AC 7265 (with Bluetooth)
- Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 (Onkyo Speakers + Subwoofer)
- Backlit Keyboard Swiss/French
- Dimensions 417(W) x 287(D) x 29.98(H)mm and 3,2kg
In the end I got 220€ off, 100€ was the offer, 90€ were off the SSD, and also I didn't take the game, that saved me another 30€, and so I finally paid 1684€ without OS.
For the OS I did the following. I went to a software selling site, bought Windows 7 Professional validation key for 18.90€. Will install that one, and straight away do the free update to Windows 10, which then also gives me the Pro version. A lot of money saved that way. Pro is 150€ here in shops.
Very nice.

Excellent. :D
You finally made a decision at last. I was beginning to think you might go another couple of years before committing. :lol:
Please put a post up in the Hardware section when you have her. It looks fab from what I have seen via the ads. :thumbs:
:lol: true.Quote:

Got it just now, looks very nice. Starting to put Windows 7 first now.

Well, what the heck???
I tried now for 4 hours to install Windows 7 from USB stick without any success.
Tried 3 different USB sticks (1xUSB3.0 & 2xUSB2.0), one SD card, plus 2 different HDDs, but nothing works. Formatted them in different ways, made them bootable, used several Windows 7 programs that make your stick bootable, tried with and without UEFI setting in BIOS, nothing! The furthest I came, was when it actually starts, but straight away after pressing the INSTALL button, it gives you an error message:"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok".
Some say that using a USB2.0 stick in a USB3 port doesn't work, problem is that I only have USB3 on this laptop. Anyway, I tried a lot of stuff I read online, nothing brought me further.
Tried also with Windows 10, but I get a blue screen with some error message.
Sometimes the Windows Boot Manager says that there's problems with the USB device connected and gives me an IO error.
I cannot install via DVD, as there's no drive, and I don't have an external one.
I gave up now, as I don't have a clue what to do? Totally puzzled :huh:
- - - Updated - - -
So I mailed the guy from the shop, and he told me that I need to include a USB3.0 driver on the USB stick, as the laptop only has USB3.0 ports, and Windows 7 doesn't support USB3.0
Quote:
If you have tried to install Windows 7 using a USB Flash Drive onto a system that only has USB 3.0 ports you might have found that you couldn’t get past the Language Select screen of the installer...
Here's a good tutorial on how to install Windows 7 with only USB3.0 ports:
http://codeabitwiser.com/2014/03/how...usb-3-0-ports/
Doing it at the moment, hopefully it will work.
UPDATE: Well it didn't. Have probably to try with different drivers, tried Intel now, don't know which USB I have on my motherboard.
Works now, used Win Toolkit to patch the ISO with the USB3.0 drivers.
Glad you got it working in the end. Bit of a nightmare. I had a similar issue when I first tried installing Windows 10. Got to the loading files for install screen and about 20% progress and just hung there not doing anything. This was from a DVD iso on a dvd-r. Changed to a USB stick and it installed first time. So was either a corrupt disc driver or the iso from m$ was corrupt.
You can see why many home users get stuck.

The nightmare continued for a bit, but now it's working.
Because once in Windows 7, my USB3.0 ports didn't work again. So no way of installing the drivers. So I allocated the 2nd internal HDD and copied the drivers from the DVD to a stick from my other PC.
Then I booted Windows again from the stick, and chose Repair Windows. There I have the opportunity to run cmd. Then I copied with xcopy /e all the contents from the stick to the internal HDD. After rebooting I was able to install the drivers from the HDD. Did USB3.0 and LAN first, and it works fine now.
What a journey :)
I bet the GTX980m would have installed no problems! :lol: :D ;)
Joking aside, yeah, .....almost unbelievable. Really glad you sorted it though & don't forget to put a review up. :thumbs:
