Read the in-Depth reviews: XMG A522, W370ET (I7-3610QM, GTX 660M), One K73-2O, W370ET (I7-3610QM, GTX 660M)
Highlights:
- good (but not great) build quality.
- No schmaltz styling – no glam monster looks, just a plain solid design.
- Default display is a FullHD display.
- Many customization option. Noteworthy are the excellent 90% Gamut Color, very high contrast and very good brightness FullHD (+185$).
- Excellent performance per price ratio. However, not the best (See Lenovo Y580).
- Easily upgradable. You can take it apart quite easily and add things yourself.
- Two HDD bays. If you want to add, for example, a SSD drive, you can do it without removing the DVD or default HDD.
- Acceptable battery running times – almost 4 hours surfing. Not the best. Again, see the Y580.
- Not bad verity of connection ports, including USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, eSata and more.
Downsides:
- Cooling system could be better. Other GTX 660M machines have better thermal/noise levels.
- Higher price than other GTX 660M+I7+FHD machines. Y580 as you probably already understood.
- Weight. 3.2-3.3kg without the AC adapter. More than other gaming laptops.

The 17.3″ 6370 is more expensive than a similar build in a 15.6″ Y580? Who’d of thought the bigger screen (basically the key thing in defining a desktop replacement or “gaming” machine) would raise the price on a laptop! AND IT WEIGHS MORE TOO! Might have to do with the larger surface area, you think?
