Difference between pXXXSM and SM-A Clevo's

[Jafil]

Hey good people, 

I've been thinking about moving from my good old P170SM to SLI setup, my very first thought was to get P377SM-A, but it turned out I've been late - they've been phased out of sales around three months ago in my parts of the world:/ But at the very same time I did get a nice offer for P375SM, and while I'm not a fan of that specific look I've started to consider accepting the offer. One thing that I've got hard times figuring out is what are the differences between P37XSM and P37XSM-A models? Or maybe someone knows where I can get P377SM-A anywhere in Europe;)?

I have a clevoP157SM - A Intel ® Core ™ i7 - 4710MQ Processor ( 2.5GHz ), 6MB L3 Cache and gtx 970m vram 6gb I think may be size (inches) difference.

Have you considered a P870DM-G? It's the best SLI laptop option out there right now.

 

If your eyes are set on a P37xSM(-A) maybe @D2ultima could answer you with the differences of these machines.

P37xSM and P37xSM-A's only differences are:

 

- native support for 800M and mostly native support for 900M on SM-A models

- fix the issue with one of the mSATA ports

- bottom cover is slightly changed in the layout of the vents; not a significant change or one that affects cooling much

- no 3D machine exists (P370SM3 is the final SLI 3D laptop ever created)

The SM-A also use a different keyboard controller and have an additional sound-chip on-board.
