    From everything I have been reading on the forums enduro was been creating a ton of problems. I'm paying 2k for a laptop I expect it to function a 100% not this 50%-60% gpu utilization. With the new diagram posted Clevo will always go through enduro there is no way around that. Even with driver updates do you think the graphics will run at 100%?

    I can atleast turn off enduro on the Alienware, and get the fps I paid for. I really wanted to avoid a 17 inch laptop though. Alienware is also more expensive and flashy which i dont care for. What are current Clevo users thoughts on if drivers will fix the gpu fps issues? Is anyone thinking of returning their laptop like me?

    it will be fixed... this is brand new tech so there will be a growth period. the m17x is also larger than a typical 17inch laptop so if you wanted a 15inch i dont see you being happy there. just have some patience. they sold thousands of these clevo units. they arent going to just ignore us.

    I also think it's just a driver issue. Some games run at 99% all the time and some does not.This reffers that the hardware is okay, and some games just need to get new drivers that run vell with endure. We just need to be patient.

    I think difference between 17" and 15" is dramatic, so if you were set on 15", you won't be happy with a 17". Much bigger, heavier and annoying to transport around.

    The Clevo vs Alienware comparison is way too gigantic.

    The Clevo 15" vs 17" is kinda the same..... :rolleyes:

    but hey if it bugs you so much, sure you'll be able to turn Enduro off but you'll lose a lot of portability!
