Hey guys, I'm planning on pre-ordering that sweet lappy, sadly I could only order it through Xotic PC, as they are the only ones that ship to my country. My question is, why does the SC17 looks underpowered when I buy it from Xotic Pc... When trying to add it to the cart, I'm redirected to the customization menu, and every single specs of the laptop is under powered. From the Ram speed up till the network module. Is it supposed to be underpowered from Xotic PC?

Define "underpowered". Wattage is low? Voltage is low? Frequency is low? Lower compared to what? Lower than EVGA advertises? Lower than some other brands?

Lower specs from whats advetised by EVGA. The ram speed from example, from 2666mhz, down to 2133mhz in their customization menu. From an Intel 8620 network module, down to 8260.

Websites can make mistakes. The specs are shown here: http://eu.evga.com/articl./00982/evga-sc17-laptop/

The specs listed on Xotic PC's websites are exactly the same as the one on EVGA's website. Only problem is when in the customization menu, I just can't seem to pick the same specs that it should have. Some are downgraded. I'm new to the whole computer stuff by the way. Help. :v

Choose add to cart only and don't choose the customize option

I've tried that. Somehow everytime I add it directly to my cart, I'd get redirected to the customization menu, and requested to purchase additional warranty (which I can't runaway from). *sigh* Looks like I"ll have to go for the other option I have, the new razer blade.

I think I would say away from http://www.xoticpc.com

I wonder if they are removing the 2666MHz Memory and putting in 2133MHZ memory, I would think that EVGA would not approve of this.
