Any suggestions about this configuration?

As long as it allows you to disable Enduro then it will rock.

From the few details I've seen it is still a muxless design (no hardware bypass to avoid Enduro/switching to intel IGP). I originally wanted to get one 7970M in my Vortex III but the Enduro under utilisation issues with Clevo units forced me to switch to 680M. I'd do some serious research into this chassis "Clevo 370EM" before ordering.

Some info suggests that Enduro or Nvidia's Optimus doesn't function with Crossfire/SLI

I'd read a bit more but that looks like an absolute beast. Tempted to pay return and restocking fee and send my single 680M unit back!
Comes out around £100 more (would have to go 3610 instead of 3740 processor) than my 15.6" Single 680M Vortex III
