    What a beast.

    On a side note, with all the intellectual property litigation between tech companies right now, how have Origin PC and EA's Origin not gotten into a trademark dispute about the name "Origin"? Both serve PC gamers, albeit in different ways.

    to much $ to pay -_-, but still want ._.

    btw, does these laptops support VT-D? apparently the first batch of 3930K/3960X (C1) doesn't support VT-D, C2 does tough.

    These things really need to come with an integrated backpack / harness.

    Or with a small extra payment, a dedicated sherpa...

    Nice job with the keyboard - I'm glad Clevo have finally gone with a proper number pad, and the back-lighting is a great addition. Now they just need another 5 years to figure out the isolated, inverted-T cursor keys...

    I'd like to meet with Clevo's chief design engineer. First I would shake his hand, then I would whack him over the head with one of his own keyboards.

    lol, wish the same keyboard format would be implemented on the lower end models as well.

    hate how they screwed up the key placement on the numpad
