The GPU can also be overclocked from the BIOS, which is a feature that you normally do not find in gaming notebooks. Coming to the hardware, EVGA SC17 sports an Intel Core i7-6820HK running at a speed between 2.70 and 3.60GHz. As you can tell, the letter ‘K’ at the end of processor’s model name states that you can increase the processor’s clock speed by increasing the core multiplier from the motherboard’s BIOS. In addition, it comes with an NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980M graphics chip with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, 32GB of G.Skill’s DDR4 memory, a 256GB M.2 SSD with NVMe protocol as well as a 1TB mechanical hard drive. EVGA SC17 also sports a full-HD webcam, built-in speakers with subwoofer, a Gigabit Ethernet controller and the following ports: 802.11ac Wi-Fi chip Bluetooth 4.2 module One USB 3.1 Type-C port Two USB 3.0 ports, mDP HDMI display outputs The interesting thing about the large gaming machine is its price tag. For a 17.3 inch gaming laptop, EVGA SC17 carries a retail price of $2699.99 and will be coming to the market in a few weeks. It’s pricing might not be that high considering all the hardware present inside, but for gamers wanting to grab themselves a price/performance gaming laptop; they should take their hunt somewhere else. The only downside to that high price tag is that EVGA SC17 does not have a mechanical leeboard layout, and the company most likely did this to prevent any more bulk from being added to the notebook.
