Well, I own the SC17 980M model and I honestly wish they did have a smaller model. But, being this is there first laptop they were likely waiting to see if it was going to sell well before they committed to making a smaller model. I would be very surprised if they didn't atleast make a 15.6" model in the future. That would be the happy medium for power and portability. But, a 14" model would be my dream laptop from EVGA. Though there are a few options like the MSI 43VR, Razer Blade 14", and Aorus x3 all have a GTX 1060 which is faster than the 980m in the first gen SC17 and are all cheaper. Hopefully, EVGA does make smaller models. But, I wouldn't hold my breath that it will be right around the corner. :(

I won't buy an EVGA laptop unless they make a smaller one. A 17" laptop doesn't fit under the seat of a standard domestic commercial flight. My 15.6" Clevo P150HM barely fits with some complaints from the airline staff every now and then. I don't demand EVGA make a smaller version since I am sure they are doing the market research to make their own decisions based on their target market; I am just saying that the frequent flier market is definitely a market which EVGA will not have at present.

Edit: And I have seen people say "but it does fit under the seat of the airplane!" in reply. No it doesn't. How much do you fly? Do you fly 6 to 12 flights a month? Just because you flew on one flight with the SC17 and the airline staff turned a blind eye and didn't complain, doesn't mean that it fits.

I love the idea of rebranding them as sc13/15/17 classifieds.

I also agree that the 17" is too big and especially heavy. I made the mistake of buying an m17x, and vowed that my next laptop will be under 5lbs. Besides, even a 1070 can't run 4k all that well and a qhd 14" just might be the sweet spot. Cough, gigabyte aorus, cough.
