The system is reasonably quiet when idle, however under extended load when playing a game for instance, the fans kick in hard, spinning fast. At full load the system is clearly audible.

Id Software’s modern DOOM Trilogy is an interesting series, with each entry having its own unique and distinct style of gameplay. With the upcoming Revelations DLC for The Dark Ages, the team are once again switching up the formula – though this time throwing some DOOM Eternal DNA into the pot.

  1. nice system, decent price. seen a simllar spec on Dell for around £500 more. I thought those bigger companies were meant to get better deals!

  2. Clevo are an acquired taste. they are bulky and not that pretty, but they are well built and last a long time. I have had one for years, I agree though, the keyboard is crap.

  3. Heat is the biggest problem with these machines, but this one looks good internally. its a step up from the last high end 17 inch unit I had, it had only one fan and it just had to work too hard. I had to clean it out every 2 months. something I should point out, is this unit is very easy to maintain by looking at the placements. a good airduster every 3 months and it would be fine.

    Good product, a company ive been watching now for a while. good builds.

  4. Wow thats a hell of a machine. good spec for the price too. cheaper than my alienware whic isn’t as fast 🙁

    ill ceck out their website.

  5. where i can buy this laptop?
