    Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section, but didn't know where else to put it. Has anyone got one of these machines? Thinking about getting one and wanted to know anyones opinion on it. Also, I'm slightly worried what kinda temps this machine will be getting.

    Thanks guys.

    its a very new machine and only a few of them have been shipped so no one knows the temp limits on it yet

    Although you can rest assured Clevo wouldnt release a product that would overheat and cause a failure

    Shipments should start from today / tomorrow (all being well) so you should start seeing some benchmarky type stuff being posted some time next week I would think.

    I'm kinda hoping they drop their price a bit in a month or so. Never had any experience with kobalt though, so not sure how they do thing.
