I recently decided i wanted a new laptop, ended up with a Clevo p150 something (if i remember).. It was the budget solution with a 870m in it and i liked most of it, but one thing killed it for me.. The keyboard ghosting was terrible and i had to return it.
Ended up going for an Alienware 17 instead (and got the big brother GPU as well). It's a completely different machine, quality wise this seems to outperform the Clevo by a long shot. It's by far the best laptop i have owned or let alone used. I'm loving it!
What do you mean by keyboard ghosting? From my experience because I have owned both, that Alienware is overpriced and seem to have more problems than Clevo. I have had motherboard issues with an M18X R2 and other problems with an M17X R4. I have nothing but happy things to say about my Clevo/Sager NP9377. Price per performance/quality parts can't seem to be beat. Just my $.02. Hope this helps.

Hi, technically I'm not a new member because I have had an account since December of 2013. So long time lurker, new contributor. Anyway, I love gaming laptops and prefer to game on them for their mobility. I found this forum through google searches and think it's awesome. Very useful/competent people here. I hope my posts will help some of you. Thanks!!

I've had 2x GTX 880m in two different Alienware 17's, one was always at 90+ under load, the other one barely reaches 70. Maybe you've got a bad one?
In my NP9377 I the GPU 1 on mine get into the 90's and caused it to throttle back. This happened for a long time and I couldn't figure it out. GPU 2 was always 10 to 15 degrees cooler at full load while gaming. I opened up the bottom cover and removed the fan for GPU 1. When I did that a big clump of dust came out and I figued out that it was blocking air flow. Now my temps have dropped about 15 degrees and are in about the range you are getting. So be careful about dust. A can of air is your friend!

I have a p377sm-a, which is pretty much identical to the cooling setup of the p375sm-a. The temps you posted look ok to me. I had GPU 1 on mine get into the 90's and caused it to throttle back.

LPC Digital and Xotic PC are some some of the clevo/sager resellers. Mine came from LPC Digital. Larry from that company is active in some of these forums.
I am really partial to the p377sm-a just because it offers a little bling. The p370sm-a is a little too boring looking for me. But I came from using Alienware laptops, so I like a bit of bling. I love mine! If you don't like the lights, you can turn them off.

Can we get a video input like the hdmi input on an Alienware laptop?
When I switched from an M18X R2 to my P377SM(Sager NP9377), that is what I actually miss.
Don't throw things at me for this, but maybe a glowing LED for the brand logo on the back of the lid. I miss some of that bling too!
Even with these things I was used to, I love my laptop after the switch to a Clevo.
