    Hi all,

    I currently have a Eurocome M5 Pro (P650SE I think) and was wondering if Clevo still makes any laptops with rear power ports. Probably been my favorite thing about this laptop is being almost cordless on the sides. any other companies do this in a gaming machine?

    The LGA laptops do - P751, P775, P870 etc have the power ports at the rear. BGA models usually have the PSU input on the side in Clevo chassis. Though if you go back to the older BGA models like the W150 they did have the power socket on the rear.

    This is the reason why I didn't purchase one of the newer Clevo BGA laptops. I'm so used to having the power and display coming out the back and was one of the main reasons I went with Clevo to begin with. Are there any Tongfang resellers in the US and do they have a 17.3" version? All I've seen so far are 15.6.

    Not really the place to be asking about other brands, go up to the "what notebook should I buy?" section.
