Any plans to release a 14" Clevo??

I really don't understand why a 14" Clevo with a decent GPU and screen resolution doesn't exist. It's ok to cram a 650M into an 11" notebook but not 14"? The 15" notebooks are just too big. Any insight on their near future plans?

 

Clevo makes rather a lot of 14" laptops. It's just a matter of which are deemed popular enough to import/be sold on a large scale. Just take a look through their product list:

CLEVO - Series

Granted, they span a whole long list of CPU and architecture updates and changes. (Anything with a 4 in the name is generally a 14")

 

Well...I meant easily available through resellers in the US. I just want a portable quality gaming laptop, why is that so hard lol

 

13" would be great actually. 14" really isn't much smaller than 15", but 13" is a happy medium between being too small for screen size and too big for handling. My ideal Sager?

13" 1600x900 Matte IPS
45W i7-Quad
GTX 660m with GDDR5 (and Optimus of course)
mSATA + one SATA HDD port
Backlit Keyboard

I would happily pay $1500 for that.

 

Perfect. Exactly what I want, I'd even take a slightly less powerful GPU if I could get all the rest.

 

That's exactly what I want for the wife.

 

Clevo's site isn't exactly rife with information, and it doesn't even mention the W110ER. What's the difference between the W241HUQ, 245, 246, 248, and 249?

Nailed it. I'd pay $2000 for a 14, so long as the GPU is in an MXM slot and I have my choice of green team/red team. Looks like there are a bunch more people who want one too. I'm in the market, cost isn't really an issue, and I want this thing. Resellers? Builders? Bueller?

 

Hmm, Asus N46VZ was mentioned in that other post. I can't find any information on it. Anyone have good links/info?

Only thing I found is this: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download N46VZ

User manual here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/N46VM/E6934_eManual_N46VZ_N46VM_Z103.pdf

But no mention of what markets, availability, etc.

 

there is a n46 versopm wotj gt 635m, there was one post i saw of a russian version with gt 650m, but it is really expensive.

hp is coming out with the dv4 5xxx maybe with gt 650m, definetely gt 630m

lenovo got a y480, once again, so far every bit of HARD evidence points to gt 640m or nerfed version, but there might be gt 650m version

samsung q407 - has a gt 650m version

 

HP is most likely the 630m, and Y480 is strongly pointing towards GT 640m LE which apparently means slower clocked GPU than standard 640m. After seeing what Clevo is doing in this 11.6" I find it surprising not to find the 650m in a 13-14" chassis and with GDDR5 even.

 

The only info i have is info like this one... but there is much more examples
ASUS N46VZ-V3022V - opis, informacje, dane techniczne produktu

They are already available for pre-order, with prices and everything in russia and some european countries. and yes, they have 2GB GT650M DDR3

 

Ew. No IPS screen for gaming...give me a 120hz LED LCD over that, any day. Unless someone is going to drop the first 120hz IPS on us.

 

After hauling my 15.6 laptop around Iraq for almost two years I would love for something just like it but shrunk down to 13". I had high hopes when Alienware came out with one, but the video card was not nearly good enough for my needs.

 

Then get Clevo's W110ER. It has Nvidia GT650m inside. Plenty of juice for this size.

 

W110ER seems to have a tiny screen. Is 11 inches enough to play FPS's like CS1.6 without losing much advantage? Dunno.

 

Thats going to be something only you can really know, but I recall playing some of the early FPS on a 14" CRT and I know people who played on smaller screens.

 

Well, there is a 14 inch on sager's website... But no GPU. And it's way overpriced.

 

I would definitely jump on a 13" or 14" inch Clevo. As long as it's specs are in between the W110ER/P15xxM and that it's not a "14 inch" in the same way that the M14x is.

Smaller machines are the future. I'd love to see developers chip away at the notion that you can't have a small and powerful machine. They're already starting to do it, but it looks like Sager/Clevo is behind on the sub-15" trend going on this year. I'm afraid the W110ER was more of a response to the M11x than it was an indicator that they are interested in smaller machines.

 

Speaking of the M11x, I haven't seen it lately...

 

It's gone... no official word but apparently discontinued.

 

They probably had it almost finished, saw the W110ER and chickened out. I wonder if this will affect the prices of used ones on Ebay and the like.

 

I dunno, the way many M11x owners in the AW forums are dissing the W110ER seems they're loyal to the bling. But whatever. I'll take performance and bland looks along with a significant savings over bling and lesser performance at more money any day.

 

A 14 inch would be nice, not too big and not too small

 

i wish they had everything in the W110ER but in a 13-14' screen...

 

a lot of people here do, me included, another thing that we want in the 13-14 is a higher res screen, 1600*900 or even 1080p dont kill anyone

 

any of the resellers on the board have any comments?

i will buy immediately if a nice 13 inch becomes available

same specs as the 110er

 

W110ER specs + 1600x900 13" + GDDR5. I would sell my W110ER at 50% discount and buy that machine in a heartbeat.

 

do please tell me how the keyboard fares as well

and yes I would buy it as well.

 

The resellers must have some info about this.

 

The resellers can't do much until Sager decides they want to sell a 13". There's the 14" NP2240, owner's lounge here. No discrete GPU and low res 14" screen. I don't expect to see much activity there, seeing as how we're a bit of an enthusiast crowd.

Like Anthony@Malibal said, Clevo makes a bunch of 14 inchers, and even a pair of 13" models. None of them are aimed at our market. Builders (not resellers) might be able to do something with them, but I doubt it. It'll probably come down to waiting for Clevo to unveil a completely new chassis next spring, if they decide the market is there for it - and that's a big if.

 

I think Clevo is missing the boat though. If they offer an 11.6" why not a powerful 13" to fill the gap to the 15" machines. But it is what it is for now.

 

indeed a 2'' difference to mark the line up is a much better solution, that gap is one that I would like filled, rather soon.

I was bored today, and looking at my steam library, trying to find a game that would play well with the hd3000, gladly I had rome tw installed

 

I call dibs on that laptop when you sell it.
