    Just got my P150HM! I want to make sure my drivers are up to date, but as the title says, I don't know where to look to check my drivers, nor do I know exactly how I should update them.

    I have the Clevo driver thread bookmarked although I'm not sure which to update. It probably become more clear once I find the drivers.


    Intel® CoreT i7-2860QM, 8MB L3 Cache
    (8GB) 8192MB, PC3-12800/1600MHz
    AMD® Radeon HD 6990M 2GB GDDR5
    750GB 7200rpm 2.5" SATA 300 Hybrid
    6X Blu-ray Reader 8X DVD+/-R
    Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium; 64-bit
    Intel® 6230 Advanced-N 802.11A/B/G/ LAN and Bluetooth Card

    Thanks for the helping the noob! :)

    The ones that will make the biggest difference are the video drivers. I'd highly recommend those. The rest of the drivers are up to you, but the performance increase won't necessarily be as obvious. For your machine, just look for drivers that match the hardware in your machine. For example, the new Intel ProSet wireless drivers, the Intel chipset drivers, etc. Generally speaking, if you go with the drivers on that page, the worst that happens is it will tell you "required hardware not found" or something similar.

    Fantastic. Thanks very much, MALIBAL. That covers that.

    Now how do I update them? Just download from the Clevo driver thread and let it run the install?

    After that, how do I check the drivers to make sure?
