    Decided to make my review here, since this is were most people look :)

    Also this is my first review, so don't be to harsh :) Thanks!

    First off: I ordered my computer from PCSPECIALIST - Custom PCs, Custom Computers, Custom PC, Desktop PC, Custom Built Computers, Gaming PC

    Specs:
    3820qm
    7970m
    Intel 6300
    Intel SSD 240gb 520
    750 Hybrid momentus
    16gb Ram 1600
    95% matte
    They had great service, and they were really helpful!

    So far, i have not had any problems! Every game i have played so far runs excellent!

    Im currently using the stock CD drivers, and they seem to be working fine.



    Keyboard: Ok, so the keyboard doesnt skip for me, but it is a little rough. What i mean is it takes quite a bit of force to push down the keys. I think its more of a getting used to concept. My previous keyboard was the apple one (You can see it in the pictures). Also the LED on the keyboard looks awesome! Looks to me like all the colors has the same shade, and the same strength. Oh yes, almost forgot! One little problem is when your computer sleeps, and wakes up the LEDs turn on automatically. This is fine, but can be tedious.

    The screen: HOLY ! ITS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! NOTHING! NOTHING NOTHING! BEYOND IMPRESSED (95% matte)

    Mousepad: I like it! Its smooth, and serves its function. Yes, its not like an apple mousepad, but i cant say there is anything bad about it. Scrolling, and other touch commands works flawlessly.

    Audio: Ok, the audio is not the greatest, but i don't believe its terrible either. Its OK.

    Battery: I mean, i didn't expect amazing battery performance, but it not that bad! Last around 3-4 hours! Depending on what you do.. Setting, no wifi..Etc

    Please reply if you want benchmarks...Etc :)


    1080p recorded with fraps, on maximum graphics! Great success!

    Rage - Episode 1 (With commentary) - YouTube

    Also i recorded with default microphone, so you can hear the quality. Excuse me i was super tired when i recorded 3AM.


    Just check screen for dead pixels! None were found!

    Benchmarks:

    First: AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor,CLEVO P15xEMx score: P5932 3DMarks


    Overclocked(Please keep in mind im an amateur at overclocking. I Just added 50Mhz to memory and core. Max temp was *. Thanks for slickdude's guide!): AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor,CLEVO P15xEMx score: P6197 3DMarks


    75mhz core 50 mem Max temp was * AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor,CLEVO P15xEMx score: P6307 3DMarks

    100mhz core 50mem Max temp was *
    (This is my final test! I expect it can reach higher, but i dont want to be the one risking my laptop)
    AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor,CLEVO P15xEMx score: P6389 3DMarks

    TEMPERATURES REMOVED, SINCE THEY WERE INCORRECT/INACCURATE!
    I would also like to add, that i had no issues at all overclocking! No errors and definitely no crashes! It ran like a BOSS, hehe.

    welcome to nbr and thanks for posting.

    would be interesting to see what scores you get with windows performance ratings between my 680 and your 7970. (we know its crap but would be good to compare)

    also download benchmarks 3dmark06 /3d vantage and 3dmark11 from my signature below.

    One question, is the basic version fine?

    yup the basic versions are fine but are lacking some config options or on line comparisons.
    im not sure if its still the case but vantage basic would only let you run one test and then you had to buy it.

    vantage make sure its set to performance mode

    06 & 11 just run them at default and then go back and run again but change to 1920x1080

    I don't know how to post images directly, unfortunately!

    But you can also just click on the broken image, and then copy location, and then paste it into your browser!

    Cheers :)!

    What do you mean? Too hot or?

    Pretty sure 95C is fine :) Besides im not planning to keep it overclocked. No point yet, since all games run fine :)

    agree. 95c on a new laptop is worrying.
    mine hasnt gone over 78c yet and thats running mw3 on max spec and crysis 2 on ultra high everything.
