The SC17 is sober looking in all black without any lighting. The 17.3" screen can push 3840x2160 pixels abd the unit comes with 16 GB DDR4. A 2TB HDD and 256GB SSD are responsible for storage.. Next to that it has USB 3.0 and 3.1c connectors.

The processor is a Core i7 6820HK quad-core with unlocked multiplier. The 17.3" laptop is 2.65cm thick, which is a lot these days. Further details are unknown. Have a peek at some photos courtesy of Tweakers.net

Aimed at gamers? With a 980M for 4K gaming? Okay...

To have an option to overclock is ok, but the idea of overclocking a laptop is bad. I've failed to see a laptop which has good cooling system. Except low power ones, which don't need it.

Some of the older Alienware models (for example, M17x-R1 & R2, M18x-R1 & R2, etc.) had really good cooling and you could overclock their CPUs and Video cards pretty well without them generating all that much more heat, provided that you made sure the fans were ramping up at the right time.

False. My GT60 Dominators CPU is overcloxed and the 970m in it as well. No issues.

I rock an SF-17 though. Even without it the laptop is fine.

Getting a gaming laptop in general is a mistake*, but getting one that can be overclocked is just ridiculous. Though that CPU has decent power efficiency, it's already a little power hungry for a laptop at its default speeds.

Personally, I'd rather just build an overclockable mini ITX PC inside a suitcase.


* Gaming laptops will either be bulky to the point that it is no longer portable or comfortable, the battery is nearly useless, and due to thermal throttling you never get the performance you paid for. If one of these problems gets addressed, something else is sacrificed.
