A few months ago, EVGA introduced a refreshed version of its SC17 gaming laptop featuring GTX 1070 graphics and a 4K display, appropriately named the SC17 1070. Now, a new model that incorporates Nvidia's G-Sync technology is available.
Aside from G-Sync, both EVGA SC17 1070 laptops share the same hardware specs. A 17.3-inch display with a 3840x2160 resolution, an Intel Core i7-6820HK with an unlocked multiplier, a mobile GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 32 GB of DDR4-2666 RAM, a 256 GB M.2 NVMe SSD and a 1 TB HDD—it's all the same. Both laptops even share identical designs.
The EVGA SC17 1070 with G-Sync is available for $2,799, but a limited-time rebate lowers the price to $2,550. The lower price is only visible once the laptop is added to the shopping cart. A 2-per-household limit is set for this model. The non-G-Sync model has no such limit, and it costs the same but receives a bigger rebate that lowers its price to $2,400. A promotional offer adds extra value—buyers are entitled to two free games, including either Ghost Recon: Wildlands or For Honor.
