    hello, I just ordered a new Clevo via Ted at HIDevolution.

    I bought the P750TM-G with a 1070.

    There was someone on here I saw that tweaks them once they have them, was wondering if anyone knew who that was.

    Thanks to Ted for dealing with my many requests with patience.

    I also realize I called this a Sager in the title , which is not what I meant, but I can’t seem to change it now.

    Matt

    Since it's a clevo there are tons of people and tons if tweaks you can and should do. Clevo notebooks are unlike MSI notebooks not out of the box ready.

    Clevo or MSI are not out of the box ready - ready for what?

    It's me. Once you get your laptop, I will PM you so you can give me your TeamViewer details for me to login and tweak it for you.

    To tag me, just put an @ sign before my name with no spaces

    These are the Phoenix Tweaks:

    1- Uninstallation of all the Windows Store Garbage Apps like 3D Paint, Print 3D, Alarms & Clock, Feedback Hub, Maps, Groove Music, News, Weather, etc.
    2- Removing all Windows 10 Privacy Invasion stuff like Telemetry, sending your keystrokes to Microsoft, automatically installing suggested apps in the background, allowing Microsoft to conduct experiments on your laptop, disabling automatic driver updates through Windows updates, disabling Windows 10 ads, disabling Cortana, Cloud Search etc.
    3- Removal of nVIDIA and Intel Telemetry
    4- Adjusting a lot of options in PC Settings like disabling Windows Tablet Mode (you have a laptop not a tablet), disabling suggestions appearing in the start menu, disabling automatically connecting to Paid WiFi Hotspots, disabling Game DVR which reduced performance in games, and a lot more.
    5- Replacing Cortana with a much better search tool that finds results instantly called Everything which finds any file you want as soon as you start typing even a few letters of its name and it doesn't even rely on the Windows Indexing Service to do this!
    6- Restoring the classic Windows Photo Viewer
    7- Restoring the Classic Windows 7 Start Menu
    8- Removal of the new and useless 3D Objects Folder that appears when you open "Computer"
    9- Completely disabling Windows Defender from its roots (including all scheduled tasks and startup files) for those who want to install their own AV. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is highly recommended if you want the utmost security with the least system performance impact.
    10- Updating all drivers to the latest versions in case they weren't up to date.
    11- Disabling the performance hit that is caused by the Meltdown and Spectre patches recently released by Microsoft (optional, only if you don't mind having this security vulnerability and would rather have your CPU's full performance back)
    12- Overprovisioning your SSD anywhere between 10-20% depending on how much space you can spare to ensure optimal and consistent performance at all times.
    13- Blocking the Google Chrome Software Reporter Tool (which causes a high system load when it is scanning files)

    Thanks a lot Phoenix. I’ll have to read up about telemetry, not sure what that is

    Hello, I too purchased a Clevo laptop which had just arrived and would like to get tweaks done. I had done some of the tweaks myself but I would like some assistance to ensure I hadn't missed out on something important @Phoenix . If there is anything I need beforehand please let me know so I can have things ready.
