PB51RF-G Review

Hi Folks,

Bougth this beast from pcspecialists last month ago. This is my replacement unit of vortex IX (clevo pb51rf). First of all, this is absolute beast of machine.
I had a few problems with first unit (pretty bad backlight bleed and cpu temps were crazy).
This unit came prebuilt in advance, and the job on repasting has been absolutely amazing. My temps
doesnt go higher than 85c on cpu all cores, jumping speed up to 4.5ghz
Screen , is one of the best I have ever seen in laptops. LED screen I think powered with PWM to use a brightness, which might be irritaning
for some people's eyes including mine but it's not something that would bother much anyway. Brightness on max is fantastic, very bright accurate screen.
Keyobard feels nice but will wear out after time if you play a games on it.
Regarding speakrs, quality is not very good I would say under average but I don't mind as I am using headphones anyway.
Build quality is very good, I have still got some back light bleed but its much more acceptable now then before.

I can only high recommend this laptop and chasis as I doubt you find something similair with cooling & performance and price like this in another 15' inch laptop with a G sync included.

PWM does not have to be annoying if the frequency is high enough.
