Dam =(, any idea why it was delayed? also any idea on how much it could possibly cost? would it be around the vortex 3's price or more?

The pricing will be roughly:

£300 + Vortex III price for 7970M model
£480 + Vortex III price for 680M model

I would imagine they would just mean that is the starting cost, so the current vortex 3 is £915, so the SLI version would be starting at about £1395, because the chassis should have SLI/CrossfireX set as the default option when configuring the laptop, then configure everything else as you would normally.

Once you doing the upgrade part on your website, is there any way if you have a vortex III already, could you upgrade to have 680M SLI? If so how much?!

The Vortex III cannot be upgraded to SLi unfortunately.

Very good question tbh, been trying to find out but cannot find any info on the matter.

Edit. From what i have found apparently the p370em does not use the iGPU so the Enduro does not have the same issues as the p150em

Have you got any ideas when this new laptop is going to be available?

I think I am not the only one who is thinking to wait for a new model, but it is difficult to decide while I don't have any information about time when it is going to be available.

i am also waiting to see the price, as i hear the 7970m should perform a lot better on it

We have already given our pricing earlier in this thread. The latest ETA is around the 20th September, so three weeks away before you can order...
