Ahoy Matey! Ye shall worry not about tuh noise! Fer this nice juggernaut of a ship, - let it blow, me hearties!

 

not exactly true...vantage will break a fake cpu over clock.(superficial or to good to be true - lol..meaning like 4ghz cpu)

 

@speedy... I did a run at your suggestion with 530 and 1350 and below is the score.

I know physx is on. Please note that I get driver crashes at this time when I disable it. Sorry.

 

they say 480 sli scales well...looks like it aint doing so bad in the mobile department either....

 

International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

@BabyHemi,
Could you run DPCLat Checker in the background next time?
Impressive scores, BTW!

 

Hemi, are you turning it off in ncp or disable ppu in vantage? Either way works.

 

battle of the resellers...this is getting interesting...lol

and what version of vantage are you running?

 

I have been doing it in NCP. I will try in vantage the ppu. Thanks,

It is build version 1.0.2 advanced edition. The latest right?

 

thats the latest 1.0.2 1901 or something

 

yessir. that would be the right version.

where exactly is it crashing at? the gpu or the cpu part?

 

It does not totally crash. At different points in the tests. A little nvidia window comes up and says the driver has stopped responding and has been reset. I know we can figure this out in time.

 

BTW, I know many want to know this...

Using the Realtek HD Audio Manager this is the best sounding laptop of any Clevo-Sager I have heard. Much better than the W870CU, W880CU and other models...

 

try a different driver.
257.21
or try different rendering settings..

 

is the psu 300w enough for this beast? when you oc`ed the processor and the gpu, will it have problem?

 

Just returned my MSI GX660R for this bad boy. Any good reviews out yet?

 

Ahoy! Got coin? Buy one and ye shall discover! Arrrrhh!

 

The pirate accent makes me freaking laugh. Love it!

 

BTW, thanks for posting this video.......that's what i've wanted to see!

 

WoW 18K vantage is looking good for a little overclock with no extra cooling thanks Babyhemy

 

And keep in mind that vantage doesn't even do tessellation, some dx11 game benches would probably work best to see what it can do. Will this be the first laptop to be able to play metro 2033 at max settings with tessellation on?

 

Metro 2033 the new CRYSIS!
Keeping my eyes on this thread...

 

YouTube - Sager NP7280 (Clevo X7200) Ultimate Laptop Review Part 2 of 2 By Xotic PC.com

Video review part 2.

 

^^^^^Just a note regarding the reported bad sound in the video above. My unit has VERY GOOD production of sound. You will need to go into the Realtec HD Sound Manager and set it for a 5.1 speaker system and environmental enhancements help too, I hear sound from all over the laptop. I really enjoy listening to my music on this system. It's not a home stereo system, but for a laptop it is very good!

 

Looking forward to your more comprehensive review babyhemi, Xotics review wasnt enough, for example the part 2 video wasnt really needed at all

 

Good to know

 

At this point if I was to mention a negative it is that yes PS adapter is BIG!
I was hoping with the advancement of technology the way it is that one about half the size of this one could be made. Maybe it can...

 

Despite being big though, is it working well? You are not seeing any problems indicative of insufficient power being supplied?

 

Later this evening I will stress it some more and we will see....as big as this psu is you would think it could handle 4 GPU's at once...

 

Any chance we will see the 470M GTX's as a option?
Looking forward to a more comprehensive review and VANTAGE benchmarks!
Can you OC the CPU?

 

Make a Video so we know how it sounds

This site has many more option, when we config the laptop
AvaDirect

Thanks

 

We had the 5.1 selected and the audio is still not that good. We have compared it to Audio from the ASUS G73 and MSI GX660R and still felt it was not as good as it should be with a notebook of this size and speaker set up. We are working on another video showing what we have this up to with a good CPU and GPU OC.

 

Can Justin or Hemi confirm: Is the surface of the X7200 brushed aluminum?

Edit: Just saw the xotic video. Good to know.

 

Yes it is..

 

can someone make a video running vantage with the killowatt meter to see how many watts is pulling from the oulet?

sorry guys to many petitions

 

Looks like the M17x has some competition

 

I hope many will get x7200 and force AW to join the heavy weight category (desktop CPU+SLI/CF). Healthy competition is good for us.

 

Not me, I think the 2" thickness for the M17x is already too much. The 2.5" X7200 is far too thick. Now for their workstation systems I could see a desktop CPU being beneficial.

 

I would not mind seeing AW start using Clevo systems again. Back before Dell was involved they did that regularly

My friend has an Aurora M7700a which used a desktop Athlon 64 in it back from 2006 (Clevo D900k or t?)

 

the chunkier the better, imho

i don't want my desktop replacement to feel like a macbook air.

 

it is 2.2" thickness (thinnest part for this laptop) just .2" diff from aw

from clevo specification, x7200 is thicker than m17x only .5 mm. Can you see difference in real use?

 

And really at this point...who cares lol

 

joker did (if i'm not misreading) lol

 

lol

*ULTIMATE CHARACTER BREAKER*

 

yeah, that thickness is the size of the pads we use for gpu memory....lol
if that is really the difference...if that's half an inch difference...then that is something different...lol
not like it would matter to me..all my bags have wheels..haha

 

Yo ho! Aye! Chunky is good!
And heavy!
Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit them with it. - Boris the 'Blade'

 

What can I say...there was no static until I uploaded to YouTube. The original is much better. I was trying to show that the x7200-NP7280 has good volume and clarity. You can even here static in my voice at the start. (I do not have static in my voice) It is just a quick 2 minute clip.

Hope you don't mind Chicago it's all I could find quick. It is an oldie but a goodie....

sounds good and my god does that laptop ever look nice

 

Does the cpu take two fans to cool or is that 4th one to the far left a chip set fan?

 

This is what Clevo lists on their website for X7200:

vs

AW specification:

60.7 mm = ~2.4 inches. The thinnest may be 2.2" but if you look at the photos, that's isolated to just a small part of the front. Most of the notebook looks like it's 2.4" thick which is quite a bit more than the M17x IMO. To some .3-.4" is trivial but at the 2" mark I think every cm begins to matter.

Why would you want AW to compromise their aesthetics, chasis and features? Just so you can get a desktop CPU? Buy the X7200 or a shuttle system if you want that. AW is a gaming brand and adding a desktop CPU to a system using mobile GPU's brings little to no gain. I think they could build something chunky like this for their Precision line but not for AW. I'm hoping for some vendor to do a radical change by going with water cooling like the Japanese have done for years now. It's fairly low profile (at least for DTRs), quiet and can absorb higher TDP parts without adding so much thickness + leaf blowers to cool the copper down.
