    It's been a while NBR!

    I'm very certain I want the N170 for moderate gaming and good mobility with workstation performance.

    Looking at RJTech, it will cost $904 for a barebones with a killer wireless M.2 card

    2x 4GB DDR3L, Samsung SM951 PCI-e SSD 128GB, HDD, and Windows 10 will tack on another $350.

    I NEED a DVD drive. Shame on Clevo for taking that out of the larger models. I used to own a M570 ETU. It had a DVD drive.

    Anyway, I believe this comes with an IPS panel, another score! The dimensions are millimeters larger than the 15" N155RD, so I think that model is pointless. Plus this has the backlit keyboard!

    I read the german review on notebookcheck. The load during gaming is about 75W and idle a mere 15W. Battery life is very good, with a potential TWELVE HOURS (with wifi off, backlight off, doing nothing but word processing)

    Overall I am extremely interested in building this soon.

    Now someone please make an owner's lounge!
