Pics: New Dual Core Compal, Clevo, MSI, Uniwill and Quanta notebooks!

From CNet Taiwan!

To those who are unfamiliar with Clevo, Uniwill and Quanta. A majority of boutique gaming rigs out there, such as VoodooPC, Alienware, Hypersonic, Sager, etc use Clevo and Uniwill notebooks. Fujitsu-Amilo also uses Uniwill. Quanta is lesser known but they are the world's largest notebook manufacturer and do sell barebones in the states enjoy!

Clevo M550N (15.4), DDR2 RAM. No word on GPU (if any)


Twinhead F10Y (10.6)


Arima 625 (VoodooPC sometimes uses Arima)


Arima W812U1


Compal HEL81

Nice Pics.

 

Excellent information, thanks for bringing us the latest ODM news Goren.

That Clevo looks like a replacement to the current M38AW (aka Sager NP-3880) series.

I'd agree that the last one looks like the M655 - hence it looks similar to the current 1029.

Chaz

 

no prob.. looks like th new Clevo and Sony have the keyboard placed lower than the palm rest.. is that supposed to be better for your fingers?

i also thought the new Quantas look straight out of Clevo's factory! a far change in look from their usual thick and black colored designs they've used in the past!

 

Yeah, that is an interesting design move. . I can't see how it would be better for your fingers, according to what I've read, your hands shouldn't be resting on the palmrest.

Is it just me or does that Arima 625 look like an HP ze2000 and the Compal HEL81 a Dell Latitude D600 series? Maybe those companies are just the ODM. You're the expert around here.

 

hey, you're right, the Arima DOES look like an HP lol. No expert in ODMs. I just got good memory and some assistance from sources who work with them Compal does Dell (but i think it's the Inspirons only).
