AVADirect First to Offer Powerful Clevo Gaming Notebook, It's Based on the New X79 Chipset Discussion

[Kevin]

Not slightly interested in the notebook, but man I hope Clevo brings that keyboard to all of its 17" machines.

Does anyone know when it's gonna be physically available?

A laptop, imo, means that it's portable and that it has a respectable battery life. With the PSU(s), this thing approaches desktop territory, and obviously the battery life isn't all the great.

Yeah, I somewhat agree. The X7200 with its most powerful CPU - 990X, still loses to M18x in benches GPU and CPU alike. And the AW has 5hrs battery life

The main problem of this new Clevo, IMHO, is the lack of OC'ing potential even if going with an extreme CPU. It's virtually impossible to make a 200W+ heatsink in a laptop without turning it into a desktop.
