Hi thanks for the heads up. Didn't know better replacement screens are available for the Clevo units. To be honest there isn't much saving in terms of pricing even if I get RAM/Storage myself to install. My previous gaming unit was Clevo based from a local builder. Although they do what they...

Hi all, Looking at options for a replacement workstation. Will be used primarily for software development and occasional gaming. Main criteria: As many threads as possible (Intel i9 HX series / Ryzen 9 HX series) Keyboard with tenkey/numpad 16:10 display preferred 1600p or greater display...

Ah, but sometimes even a quiet case is not quite quiet enough ;). I've used Dynamat computer kits on my last two builds, works pretty well and didn't notice any temperature increases; although I've switched over to Second Skin when it comes to car audio installs.

If i remember correctly, Clevo has already been seen flashing a S2011 board around not too long ago that's destined to find its way into an X7200 replacement.:biggrin:

Absolutely people can and will formulate their opinions (and for me personally my opinion of PPC on the customer service front has been falling long before this particular incident), however there is no way by any stretch of imagination that the OPs emails could be considered as 'barbaric as...

Sums it up beautifully. I don't see how anybody in their right mind could try and pin this on the OP! It was the vendor's responsibility to ensure the order was fulfilled as advertised. OP received order missing critical parts rendering received items useless, sends email to inquire and is...

Hiya, If you're using linux then the most probable cause of your overheating issues is the recent power regression issue in the Linux kernel. As I understand it, the problem is related to Active State Power Management and until this issue is fixed (probably with version 3.1 or 3.2) the only...

Been browsing the Dell uk site and the Studio 15 with an the i3 cpu and radeon 4570 is on offer (£328 discount and selling for £499). Is the Studio series of laptops better built than the Inspirons? Is it worth paying £60 (approx $100) for a Studio 15 and i3 over an inspiron...

Hiya, Thanks for the response and sorry for my own delayed one. Light gaming would be Civilizations IV, Sim City 3000, and a little Half-Life 2 with playable settings. I've never had a Dell laptop before, Inspiron or otherwise, but the outlet prices are miles cheaper than anything else with...

Hiya all, Looking to get a laptop. Will be my daily use PC doing mainly browsing, MS Office, watching media, light gaming and home video editing. Budget is GBP500 max, choice narrowed down to a Toshiba L500-X1C i3-330M based laptop or a Dell Inspiron T6600 laptop with Radeon HD 4570 GPU. The...

Hi all, this is my first post on the forum but I've been visiting Anandtech for quite a while . I'm trying to put together a budget midrange system. I have a decent knowledge of PCs and have been consistently reading and keeping myself up to date with components but have never actually built a...
