What other accessories to get?

I feel like I am missing something critical. The laptop is going to be going to school with me and staying at home with occasional trip to work and here is the run down so far (Getting Sager NP8172)

3x usb c to usb c cable for phone and pc
1x MSI Adeona backpack (unsure if itll fit)
1x Solo laptop sleeve
1x Logitech g700s
1x Coolermaster SF 17 cooling pad

Storage is accounted for (though big props to seagate for three doa drives in a row)

Don't see what else you'd really need, given what you already have. Personally I'd only bother with a mouse and a backpack of some sort, and perhaps the cooling pad (though personally I don't buy gaming laptops).

 

Headphones of some sort.

 

Ah, forgot about headphones...

 

A spare AC adapter.

 

I was considering one but was questioning myself on its worth based on its cost so it's a potential.

Headphones I think might stick to Axent

Depends on if you want an extra for travel purposes or if you think that the original will break anytime soon.

 

I always like to have a spare AC adapter for convenience, even when moving from one room of the house to another. Then again my M15X has terrible battery life.

And on the subject of battery life, the G700S while it is a great gaming mouse, does not have good battery life. I get about a day with a 2400mah battery on the power saver setting and the lowest poll rate. I read the G602 is better as far as battery life is concerned.

 

Both good points (to jarhead too) I guess AC I will find out after I get it tomorrow. The only thing I can think of is for behind bed for bed-gaming and one to keep with SF17 or something. Living room in apartment gets no use as I decided to be selfish with my TV.

As for mouse I have a G700s i abandoned for G502 on desktop so I figured minus well toss it into laptop bag. I have no doubts g602 is better even for accuracy. Same issue with MSI bag...i got it with my msi laptop so we shall see! Its made for GS70/72 with a sleeve on so fingers crossed.


I was thinking maybe m.2 3g/lte card if those exist too...would help so much for work.

Since you already have the G700s, might as well keep it and save some money. It's a great mouse. Just take the cable with you, you're gonna need it I wish that cable was sleeved or at least not as stiff. Otherwise I wouldn't mind it being plugged in most of the time.

 

Find a used OEM on on ebay if you want to save some money. Got a cheap M6600 adapter for my M6700, one stays at work, the other travels with me. Also have the adapter to connect the 240W M6600 power supply to the XPS 15 which means that I am never without a power supply at work when I would need one.

OEMs usually use the same power supply across multiple models, so ask in the Clevo section what the adapter is: Voltage, Amperage, Tip type and who made it. Laptop OEMs never make their own PSUs, they are usually made by Delta, LiteON and one or two other good PSU manufacturers. Sometimes, it's easier to find the non branded version for cheaper, as long as it's made by the same PSU company and that there isn't a chip to check whether the adapter is genuine (Dell does this, Sager doesn't), you should be good to go. DO NOT invest in a "random cheap brand" adapter.

 

Hopefully it uses D5P since that's 40 used, fingers crossed for that too now!

I've heard conflicting things on whether your Clevo model supports HDMI 2.0. If it doesn't, you might want to consider an active DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter.
