20" (Clevo) X2 TL60 Laptop

Look its a 20" Clevo!

 

That's a nice find, thanks for posting. I still think the processor is going to be a bottleneck (despite being dual-core, the TL-60 will still perform the exact same as a 2.0GHz Turion 64 when running single-threaded applications). The DDR2 memory might help though, since the processor will have more bandwidth at its disposal.

Hopefully Sager will pick up this thing.

 

wow i jus luv the spes on tis thhings....except the processor that is...the grapic option is out of this world luv to own sumthin like tis though the difficult part wud be carryin it arnd as it wud be a pain in the neck...literally lolz

I dont even understand why you would need the dvi out port on the back. That thing is a monster.

 

for another monster monitor of course, LOL.

 

So, what`s the power consumption of that thing? 2 x 50W for the 7950`s, say another 50 for CPU/MOBO/HDD and another 20 for the screen?

Somewhere between 150 and 200W.

Djeez.

 

One thing I don't get. Now they have the space why didn't go for a full sized keyboard with a separate numpad? There are no speakers in the way!

Otherwise, shoulder/back problems. But I want one! LOL. Just the keyboard makes it not perfect...

 

Yeah thats kinda annoying a bit. The same keyboard that Clevo has, has been put into pretty much all of their mid to high-end models for the last couple of years. Maybe they are backstocked

It would be nice to have a standard numpad to work with, because I am still not 100% used to mine when crunching numbers.

 

The numpad on the Clevo keyboards they put in their 17"+ machines is a bit odd ( see here), I have never gotten used to it either. I thoroughly enjoy typing on them the keyboard as a whole though, great tactile feel. Clevo's keyboards also feel like they are made of thicker plastic/are of better quality, and are more durable than other keyboards.

 

lol Chaz, u took a shot of your keyboard, nice.

looks 100% like mine, and the new Clevo's too.

 

Lol - actually, that was the M570U beast I tested in October:

I forgot to mention that if there is one thing that bother me about the 17" Clevo keyboard, it is the lack of dedicated Home/PgUp/PgDn/End keys. You have to use the Fn + arrow keys for them.

Here's my keyboard. It is noticeably more 'clickety' and quite different from the 17" keyboard. It's firmer (as in, there's a much more abrupt response when the keys strike bottom), and is not nearly as cushy.

Same key layout though. I really like the layout of Clevo keyboards.
