    For people who owns a Sager NP8690, What kind of screen protector and keyboard cover did you buy? (That is, if you actually care to buy them!)

    Please give me links or recommendations...I am looking forward to take care of my 2k laptop lol.

    Get a Zeroshock and a good backpack. That's all you need to take care of your notebook.

    Anyone with a 8690 know what size zeroshock to get? It looks like the 37-27 might be slightly too small on the width (14.7" vs the lappy 14.75"), but if it can squeeze in, I rather have it tight than flopping around.

    XmasDummy. The point of getting a notebook is to use it, not baby it. If you don't want the screen to get scratched, lightly wipe it with a microfiber cloth every now and then and don't touch it. If you don't want the keyboard to get oily, wash your hands before you use your notebook and clean the keys after you use it. This is basic common sense. If you don't think you can do these simple things, then don't get a Clevo.

    Honestly, if you are clumsy enough to worry about spilling juice all over it why are you spending $1700-$3000 on a laptop?
