    Ordered laptop for a friend. Ordered on spec - Could anyone confirm if this is a Clevo / Sager chassis?

    Any issues that we need to know about? (e.g. thermal paste, bios, driver, etc?)

    Thanks! :thumbsup:

    I suppose it's a much better machine for gaming than the one in my sig so the friend should be happy. :D

    Yes it is clevo. Good choice 780m
    If u find the temp is abnormally high, then have to repaste.

    Yes, much better then 770M. In fact right now the 780M is the fastest single notebook GPU.

    Keep an eye on temps. Some see temps as high as 93C os so. And repasting may or may not help. See the 780M temps thread for more info. Still, I plan to get the 780M. It is the best after all.

    Nice computer, just be sure you have an OS to install on there once you get it as the stock version does not include one.

    if it hasnt got a OS then make sure it comes with a drivers disc as i have no idea how good your supplier is on updating their drivers on their site.

    lots of free software to monitor everything in sig below.
