I actually received it last Thursday, but I wanted several days of testing to make sure it was in perfect working order and was going to work out for me - but - I got a new machine! A portable even.
It's a Sager NP8760, which doesn't tell you much, as Sager's machines (which are actually built on Clevo OEM machines) are 100% custom builds. I got mine with the i7 820QM CPU, 4GB of DDR3, a 160GB Intel SSD for the primary drive, and a 7200 RPM 500GB SATA drive for secondary. Standard onboard video is a GTX280M with 1GB of GDDR. The built-in display is 17.3" 1900x1080 (Full 1080P HD), but of course, I still have my Samsung 275T+ 27.5" art/DP grade monitor... so I use that mostly.
The machine is... incredible. I get better framerates than I did on my desktop - even though the desktop has a pair of GTX295 cards in quad-SLI mode. Quad SLI is... bad tech, honestly. I play STO, WoW, AoC on it, at max settings, and again, it's better performing than my desktop.
I'll have pics up later today or tomorrow. It's very cool - pure black, with no logos of any kind on it.
