    Well, this laptop is one of the numerous rebrands of Clevo M570U (for more info see the Clevo guide).And it's certainly one of the greatest 17" laptops.
    EDIT : Thread moved to the Clevo section.

    Let's turn it into a thread praising the virtues of the m570ru instead and why it doesn't offer SLI :p

    Same here. But thankfully there are not too many people who make a new thread about their personal opinion of "the coolest laptop ever"...

    Well I'm very sorry but the reason I posted it is I wanted to make sure that noone thought I was mad having purchased the model about three quarters of a year ago. It's still going strong and it's brilliant.

    I like the idea of the thread been turned into a thread praising the positive virtues of it. Let's do it!!!!!!!!

    I'll start - it's durable, it's got the best laptop keyboard I've ever used and also the touchpad has one of those things on the side for scrolling up and down the page (not that I often use the touchpad though).

    Well, I was actually pointing to the virtues of the soon-to-be-released m570ru (the m570u's "successor" if you will) instead, but the m570u is an amazing machine. I nearly got one from Sager before I decided that 17" would be too large for my needs.

    And I fail to see the point of non-Clevo owners trolling another brand's board to criticize someone else's opinion. Go figure.

    Same goes for you, Ronkotus.

    Too right it does!!!

    I'm waiting for the m570ru to be released and then I might get it if I can build up enough funds but yeh I have to say that the m570u is amazing and its the best notebook I've ever had. I can see why the 17" widescreen can offend though - I've never had problems carting it about but I suppose if you did loads of air travel or something it could pose a bit of a problem.

    Talking about air travel, I found this 110V socket by the seet nearest the door of a 747 and its fully operational in flight. I tried it again on antoher 747 and it still worked! Don't tell anyone I told you though!
