OcUK Pinnacle
- Thread starter Yaayuh!
- Start date
The Pinnacle range are essentially the same rebranded Tongfang / Clevo devices you will find from others available in the UK or abroad (example being XMG Neo / Neo S in Germany).
They generally review quite well and also tend to have max TGP GPU's, decent power delivery to the CPU (sustained boost clocks), decent build quality and a good selection of up to date ports. From memory the latest generation 16" models offer the option of the liquid cooling add in (via ports in the back of the laptop) which can dramatically lower CPU (and GPU) temps leading to better sustained performance (mixed results when it comes to noise however).
Note - the latest generation 16" models are either identical or very similar to the Medion range (same rebranding) and thus are quite close in overall design to Lenovo's Legion range (the latter owning the former).
Pricing wise they are generally on the lower end vs similarly specified models from other manufacturers but it very much comes down to what you want. Given the current climate however pricing is all over the place.

Read this thread here what I started a few weeks back and basically same issues as Medion laptops :-
Where do you download the BIOS & other software updates for Medion Erazer Laptops ?
I can't seem to find a page with drivers,Bios, VBIOS updates for any of the Medion Laptops ? Was looking at one of their laptops and decided to check how their support pages are and can't seem to find anything but some community page and no pages for software or firmware download updates etc...

What is your budget and how large a screen are you after ? Maybe find something better for the money and more reliable support for the software and hardware regarding BIOS and firmware updates as these laptops become paperweights if not supported well. Read my findings regarding Medion, which are basically all these same laptops under different names.

Firmware is a good shout, thanks.
Just musing about a gaming laptop around the £2K mark at the moment.
