Update to P775TM

Hi

There seems to be an update to the Clevo P775TM, go to the video below its located 7:40 time wise

Not a lot of detail, he was not allowed to film it, but apparently it's for 10th Gen Intel CPUs.

Does anyone have concrete details?

 

Good catch. Fingers crossed for a chassis redesign (about darn time) and vapor chambers.

 

No one's going to be easily talking publically about future gen stuff .

 

I'm wondering if its close, given they demo'ed it at Computex, also noticed that Clevo and Creative have gone into partnership with audio hardware for Clevo laptops.

 

About time, the P775 is ancient in laptop terms and has been overtaken by the competition since it started its life on Skylake.

I think it has to be vapour chamber, whether or not it handles 9900K @ 5ghz the GT76 cooling is heatpipe spaghetti, and 10th gen is rumoured to be another 2 cores on 14nm+++ further increasing heat output but more importantly, thermal density . There's only so much area above the die that can be covered with heatpipes before adding more has minimal effect

 

Well. JT used figure of this kinda transformer toy thing when describing update. Mby we will face something more than cooling system update? Hope so. For me in terms of look msi76 is top machine atm

 

Just hope the motherboard does not go wrong.

 

Hopefully the replacement takes some of the P870s features into consideration since dual GPUs on laptops are dead. They should replace both the P775 and P870 with one superior machine in my opinion. I have my doubts as to whether it will be better than the P870, but only time will tell.

 

Don't care about looks, only cooling, that pretty much encompasses my hopes for it.

 

You say that. But you gotta draw a line somewhere...

 

No need to go gigantic when you have 200-300w less to worry about.

 

Mainly thinking of the CPU side, though a beefier GPU heatsink would help with overclocking.

 

A hybrid between the two would be interesting.

 

Paint it black, cover it with googly eyes, and it's a shoggoth mod.

 

You owe The Stones and H.P. Lovecraft royalties now.

 

Inspired by but legally distinct

 

Wonder if it's coming late this year. A redesign was needed. I guess P870XX series is dead then for good.

 

I've been holding off for something to happen to the DTR space. The 51M wasn't it... and I thought the GT76 would be, but that wasn't, either.

I hope the 775 update is something that won't leave my now-growing anticipation disappointed.

 

No point in wasting space for two slots.

 

Might have to wait until they make a new model series, I would expect the refreshes to be more in the same vein as the exiting 775 just with refreshed components.

 

I'd wait to see what the reviews are like for the GT76 before you discount it, would be interesting to see how it overclocks. I thought the Acer Helios 700 might have been worth a punt but information seems to have dried up and the Asus Mothership is also not it in my view though I like the form factor.

Its quite interesting to note that Clevo Laptops like the P775 and P870 were not talked about much, when MSI & Alienware released these laptops with desktop class CPUs. Its not a new thing.

 

People do like to eat up the marketing those companies put out however.

 

Will Be interesting to see how many pages this thread will have in a year...

 

@Prema Ie a new model will appear no earlier than the end of the year?

 

I think it's for people to take that how they will

 

how the HECK did i miss this thread? subbed!

Tut tut, not paying attention

 

haha yep my attention is on my defective power button atm. check out my thread and lemme know if u / sager can help me out there with spare parts

Contact sales through the website, they are pretty good at sourcing parts for reasonable prices.

 

this definitely needs a chassis redesign. 2 fans and puny heatsink for a 10c cpu that can hit 250w+ and a 150-200w GPU just isnt gonna cut it.

no doubt the redesign will probably have thin bazel, smaller in size, cpu heatsink rated to 125w due to "intel specs".

this gonna need minimum 3-4 fans with huge amount of copper like the GT76.

 

that i just did and mentioned your referral lets see whats up!

Frankly, the lack of G-Sync in the GT76 and it having Optimus is already a dealbreaker.

I don't need Optimus in something that's going to only ever use the battery as a glorified UPS.

It doesn't even make sense from a design standpoint. Optimus is there to extend battery life. Who is using a GT76 on battery for any appreciable amount of time?

The choice for Optimus, and the use case for a DTR, are polar opposites.

At the cost of *sync and Optimus-related performance degradation, too?

 

Optimus is negligible typically performance wise.

 

Wouldn’t call this negligible...

 

and even GStink causes a performance drop they should have tested with it switched off haha.

Where is that from?

 

Yup, definitely turn off G-Sync as well if you’re chasing every last benchmark point.

 

Those figures are worth double checking for some of the more gpu bound ones.

 

Well, "looks" is why I have yet to buy a Clevo...

I was on a 4hr flight sitting in First Class and pulled my GT75 out and set it on the tray...

 

I think of them like sleeper cars. The average person looks at one and has no idea what's under the hood.

 

Well, yeah but it reminds me of my LanParty days and we always had that "guy" with the CardBoard Box 4790k system...

I suppose I could Cerakote/DuraCote the crap out of the chassis.

 

- user who prefers form / looks over function (doesnt deserve either)
- makes sure to mention First Class in capital letters for a 4hr flight

right, doesnt surprise me in the least that u havent bought a clevo yet xD

in any case, RGB doesnt make a system sturdier. ud be surprised at how sturdy clevo machines are, no need for dura coats

Getting a laptop just for looks is stupid imo

 

Considering it will be MY device paid for with my hard EARNED money I want it to look decent enough that it will atleast look good sitting on my desk.

Buying those 28" rims for a Mercury Comet is stupid imo...

Totally missed the point, it has nothing to do with RGB. They have no personality.

 

The same will those who spent all their hard earned money on Applebooks as well. They prefer design/good looks over functionality.
Even warning about how bad the product is doesn't help. They buy it anyway.

 

Those Apple people aren't that smart anyways...

 

There is much more than Apple people that don't listening on wartnings about the products... This isn't brand specific https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/07/20/intel_core_i9_performance_in_dell_apple_laptops/

What brands people prefer doesn't matter. Many people whatever brand they like look on design but forget the functionality. How it works come second or last. This is the reason the ODM/OEM can continue push out broken trash but packed into a nice and shiny notebook package chassis.

 

You got a point there. PErsonally i prefer functionality over looks but to each their own

 

There does not have to be one balance point, their can be a variety of machines at different points. That's why laptops are generally more interesting than desktops.

 

I saw someone build a high end computer into one of those old Gateway boxes, I sorta want to do that.
