New Clevo W230ST review

[stateofmind]

The Clevo W230ST (13.3")
review

Pros are generally:
* very good IPS 1080p screen, matte, above 60% adobeRGB color coverage
* gaming performance is very good for its price, but that's expected with the GTX 765M@$1000-$1100. However, there are faster for this price.
* Compact

Cons:
* Heat. Common for gaming laptops in this price range
* keyboard?
* battery life

27W at idling on notebookcheck. All said. But it's not new that Clevo is the worst manufacturer when it comes to battery life.

Yea. I'm waiting for the Prema bios update - might help (and he said it should come soon)
Also, the GTX 765M on my machine stays on 800MHZ and high voltage constantly..

I'm just worried of the HDD getting hot.
