ok here's some real talk
i'm pretty hard on laptops so here goes…
Clevo isnt a mainstream brand although its pretty popular with the super high end gaming crowd
theres some caveats…
$99 extra for Win7
doesn't say what is the std. wireless card (I hate 1x1 rubbish)
$69 extra for a 1,080p screen (I hate 768p)
i just optioned one and it came to $1,000+ and i only did minor stuff.
Also GT630M isn't exactly a great card. Read some reviews and you'll be disappointed.
