So far only seeing pics of the event via social media for the unveiling from a friend of mine whos at the event at Gardens. Wonder if they'll have highest specs than the GTX 770M currently on offer for the M17.

A thought crossed my mind that if they new lineup here isn't a major improvement other than exterior looks and aesthetics, I'd rather upgrade my current proc and GPU myself.

Tempted to get a 17 or 18 but exploring the limits of upgradeability of my current M15x. Seeing if theres news of a 8970 upgrade...

If it still using MXM 3.0, why not? :3
But still you need to do Bios tweaks~

I think my only concern is the heat as well as the power consumption. At present running 6970 and heat can hit 90c but is brought down with cooling pad running Tomb Raider on Ultra settings (Minus DoF, Antialiasing which are on high) @ 30fps min for smooth play. Just tested it as I have only recently acquired T.R and unsure how other games will perform with this old card. In US I see lotsa ppl already running 7970 on this old gen machine setting up hopes it can endure another year or 2 rclxms.gif

p:s Anything that can save $$ is a good thing. Can't chase Tech too much lol
