The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Actually... I now remember. I also remember that over 10 years ago Clevo sold a 15,6" midrange laptop which had 2 USB ports on the right side (and I also believe the fan outlet). That model looked quite nice, though I didn't buy it back then because of these exact reasons... but I was tempted very hard to buy it. It's sad to see that they haven't learned since then and they still have 2 USB on the right side.
However, I don't know how annoying it really is to have the USB ports on the right side. Maybe it's neglectable. And besides I noticed that other brands, such as Acer VX15, also have lots of ports on the right side.
Another thing I noticed is, that the foots are almost 1cm in height on this laptop. If you put it on your lap (it's a laptop after all) these foots will definitely pinch your lap. IIRC the foots of the P650 are much smaller in height and therefore wouldn't be noticed on your lap. Again I ask myself... why did they do that on this model?
Anyways... it can't be changed now. So... wasn't there someone claiming that this week a new revision of the N850 will come with double heatpipes on CPU and GPU?
The fans draw air in from below; higher elevation typically means better airflow and lower temps. Maybe the question should be, "Why don't they do this on more models?"
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
