    Thanks I"ll check it out, however changing the resolution to 1080p doesn't log you out at least, from what I've tested on several 4k laptops, so maybe that was a bug, setting the scaling though I'd have to see where else to set that since the option for what I thought it was didn't seem to affect everything, as 8.1 doesn't seem to adapt to well to changes.

    However I"m curious which screen he checked and the card that was in use as well.

    The gpu settings will dictate if the screen is stretched or boxed.

    Hi Meaker, would this apply for Windows 7 also?

    Well its more about the screen, due to the materials used the clarity and viewing angles will be excellent. Windows 7 does not scale well at all though you would likely run it at 1080p a lot of the time but even then.

    So, running Windows 7 at 1080P on a 4K screen would work? I'm kinda tempted by the IGZO Sharp. The resolution and the Win7 compatibility is the only thing holding me back...

    I"m just gonna grab 8.1 at this point and wait for 10, w/ classic shell I"m fine for the most part though its more useful on my CintiQ. Would only require a year anyways, though IF WACOM does refresh their models then I'd be jumping there instead w/ integrated nvidia gpu's <3


    However Win 7 wise you can get a service that fixes the scaling issue and works like it does on Apple, which I used to use and haven't reinstalled since the format, there's a few out there but one holds up pretty well w/ most applications and windows.

    If you go 4K, make sure you go with the Sharp IGZO panel.

    if Dosbox runs fine on 4k then I'm game, since that's about 50% of my gaming right thar, finishing off childhood games that I sometimes never was able to beat OR procure the game due to availability/time back in the day.


    SOOOOOO many Japanese games to play too ( anime action RPG's, fighters, adventures, fps, vertical scrollers etc I picked up a TON while in and away from Japan over the past decade xD ) ...CRAP, might have to stick w/ the 1080p ;___;

    @mobius: very doubtful, havent seen any PS/2 ports around for a long while now....unless one counts old desktop computers :p besides, both the leaked spec sheet and the pictures lack a PS/2 port...

    @maxheap: current ETA is dec 15th, so im pretty positive that some vendors will prop up their preorder pages this week :D

    Hmm not sure if the msg was cut off or that's all they were responding, so I wrote back, but woke up to this from Blue.

    I wrote back asking for further info on them, IPS , etc and everything I see asked here, as well as for additional pics when they can and a pic of the bottom if possible.

    Though this was interesting in their comments on FB( mention of late 2015 )


    Either way I CAN FEEL IT

    This week's the WEEK we get our info !!!

    YEYUH can't wait!

    makes sense to refresh the desktop cpu dual gpu model as well when the desktop cpu single gpu model is coming out soon ;)

    although thatll probably use the x99 chipset and be like 5-6 cm thick just like its precedessor P570WM...

    but still, 8 cores in a laptop!!!! :eek:

    and YES, this IS indeed the week!!! waaaaaaaah *runs off to the gym to let off some steam*

    actually more like 80K's but whos counting right? :cool: :p

    gah! cant wait to bench the crap out of this system :D already researching the best way to oc the 4790K to the max! all in all, it should be about a 50-100% performance upgrade to my previous rig :D (thats 50% at stock and 100% oced/upgraded mwahaha)

    *continues benching*

    edit: btw guys, anyone volunteering to open up and take care of a P75xZM owners lounge? or should i do that? would like to wait at least until my order is through though... :p

    Holy... I guess my hopes for getting a light laptop to setup for both my work (linux) and mobile gaming needs is out the window.. For good reason :D Back to mobile gaming laptop + Desktop replacement model (although it is considerably lighter and thinner than my previous desktop replacement m17x r3 :))

    EDIT: Btw Jaybee your laptop is dead as well? My m17x r3 is I think faulty (my guess is mobo) considering it killed 3 MXM cards, I am not replacing it anymore :D

    Should uncheck "store locally" for the photo and let the bats SWARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM


    also don't think the 17" is going to support SLI just yet, given they've made it this far w/ the desktop CPU's I'm sure the next project would getting the cooling to work w/ dual GPU's in something this thin, which is looking end of next year when hardware is smaller etc. However this isn't 100% certain, just information from vendors and what makes sense anyways.

    If a 330W PSU is needed for a 980M + 4790K, then above a 330W will be needed for 4790K + SLI unless getting something like 960Ms.

    the chassis is made of rubberized plastic, much like the P150 series. as for the cooling, we definitely know they used like a TON of copper for the cooling:

    [​IMG]

    which makes sense considering the form factor is thinner than the P150 but the overall weight is about 300-400 grams higher. it sure looks like a two-fan design to me based on the heatsinks. considering the 980M runs comparably cool compared to previous gens, im hoping that the extra cooling capacity would manage to bring the 4790K to 4.5 Ghz on all cores, that would be totally sweet :) on desktop systems it would reach 4.7 Ghz on average, but thats with beefed up cooling of course...

    yep i would be expecting the same 2x330W adapter solution available to such a SLI machine as with the P570WM. but as mentioned before, my bet is on X99 + Haswell-E + SLI in a comparable form factor like the P570WM

    wait wait wait, does this machine need 330W power supply?! why on earth such a crazy jump from 230W? 4790K is like 88W, 4700mq is 47W. Is it just because there is no 280W power supply on the market, or they are aiming for OC headroom?

    It doesn't by default it comes with a 230W however Clevo has acknowledged that even their Engineers don't often take into account that their primary audience are gamers, so for this round the OPTION to move up to a 330W is there in case you want to create your own volcanic science project :D its like a 30-50$ upcharge iirc.

    To sum it up

    It doesn't need a 330W PSU persay, its US that NEEDS the PSU BECAUSE...

    stock PSU is 230W, thats barely enough to supply enough juice to the 88W cpu, 100W gpu and then theres 32W left for the rest of the system. so basically in very stressful situations ud have like 20W or less of headroom left. that wont be any fun when trying to oc, and whats the point of a K desktop CPU if u cant oc it right? sooooo the first vendor with preorder option, namely bluemobility in poland made the wise decision to include a 330W PSU in their configurator ;)

    which means: the P751ZM sports the same power connector like the P170 / P375 / P570 series and is thus compatible with all Clevo 230W / 300W / 330W PSUs :D

    edit: ah crap, luna ninja´d me :)

    @max: dayum, TWO of them, itll be like the batcave at your place :p

    @luna, wait wait! The super ultra slow motion (the scene where he kicks the guy towards the ditch) also fits if we are playing AssCreed:Unity with the original cinematic experience :D Well, it won't be really cinematic on this badboy though :(

    Would be heresy if US resellers don't include a 330W option! Even so though, I imagine an oc of 4.4 on all cores while ocing the GPU as well to the +135 max (I think that's what it is for 980M) would be the most that can be squeezed out without physically modding any of the hardware.

    I don't know if I can wait till January though... tempted to go the bluemobility route lol. Their site is only in polish though? ._.

    he was talking about two PSUs meaker, although i misunderstood him as well at first :D

    @mollysantana: no US retailers offering this machine yet, bluemobility is the only one thus far globally. preorder pages should be popping up soon though...

    @metacarpus: ask lunap for details, shes emailing back and worth with bluemobility to sort out her (potential) order with them. they definitely speak english, so its best to go through either phone or email rather than the configurator in polish ;)

    yep, my laptop is dead Dead DEAD! selling of its parts on ebay at the moment :( if u wanna know more about this gruesome story, look no further than here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...ure-bios-gpu-hardware-specialists-wanted.html

    dunno why but lately it seems theres like a ton of 7970M cards failing all around me :p definitely time for batman to clean up this mess....

    sorry to hear about ur rig bro, 3 faulty gpus is a b*tch!!!

    btw, i was also planning to get a 230W PSU for work and a 330W monster for home :D
