Team,
I have been a loyal Clevo owner for the past decade. I am currently running
Eluktronics P775TM1-G but its time for an upgrade after seven years.
I have never had any issues with Clevo laptops, except normal wear and tear (keyboard, cmos batteries replacement and so on).
My minimum requirements:
- 3 SSD with two configured as Raid 1 ( 1 TB + 2x 4 TB)
- Reliable cooling
Nice to have : Display with higher than Full HD resolution.
I am now torn among three options:
SAGER NP9580S (Clevo X580WNS-G) ~ 4,539 USD
Advantages:
Available in UHD screen
Big chassis – plenty of space for naturally aspirated cooling
SD card reader
Disadvantages:
Makes it all most impractical to travel with
Over 1,000 USD more expensive than competitor.
SAGER NP7571P (Clevo V370WNPQ) ~ 3,250 USD
Advantage:
Classical 17’’ laptop with ample space for naturally aspirated cooling
Disadvantages:
Reported reliability with keyboard and high noise
Only 17’’ FHD available.
SAGER NP9560P (Clevo X560WNR-G) ~ 3,100 USD
Advantages:
Screen is available 16" QHD+ 240Hz
Power efficient AMD AI 9 HX370
Can be travelled with
Disadvantages:
Slim design with dual fan design potentially leading to elevated SSD temperatures.
Only two SSD but can be configured as Raid 1.
Lack of external ports
Note: I looked at SAGER NP9560R but turn off point is Vapor Chamber Cooling – they don’t sell spare and its impossible to replace it a t home. Reported reliability / longevity is about 3 -4 years.
I am not playing games but can need fast acting support for 4K monitors. I don’t know what happen with reviews I am not able to find any feedback on those three laptops and be grateful for your views /opinions.
