Desktop PC processor. I'm not talking about cooling twin 680ms which is easy, it's not bottlenecking them, which no Ivy Bridge mobile chips did. So no Alienware PCs didn't bottleneck the twin 680s they had, whereas these two let the graphics cards actually shunt out some serious performance.
I sincerely doubt somebody claiming to be an employee at a competitor working on these laptops would be so intent on badmouthing them so I'll leave you to your rage. Particularly given you have clevo in your name..
you completely miss the point in your narrow point of view the only gain in the new clevo is cpu performance plain and simple end of discussion they wont aid the gpus as there is no constraint on them currently... where the whole bottlenecking discussion came into effect is beyond me because no i7 ivys bottle neck as for the desktop nor do they so its pure and simple cpu power,which isn't needed in laptops and tbh for 90% of users you just wont see a differance..ssd's are more important by far then any minute gain in cpu power and the clock speeds mobile i7s hit now days desktop cpus are pretty much pointless for mobile devises its a gimmick and cpu manufacturing cost cutter!
no rage i just hate stupidity and people believing something is true because they want it to be true
clevos make good machines or i wouldnt work on them but they have their faults and plenty of them but as mentioned earlier i hate dell and alienware but simple fact is at the moment their products like for like are better thought out and better quality thats what this whole discussion was about in the 1st place.
like i mentioned above better bios and far less limitations overclocking is available igpu disabling is available vt is available cooling is superiour bios support is far more viable and made public something clevo has not done for a good while,infact you have to contact tech support for your reseller for bios updates now or trust a forum.
The warranty is actually far superior on alienwares aswell and you have direct contact with who make them,i cant tell you how many times ive been frustrated over customers rmaing their machines due to poor keyboard on clevo's and initially clevo didnt want to know eventually they offered an alternative the steel series which then vanished again,eventually they sorted quality but even now to date there hit and miss.
the gpu coolers often arrive missaligned and have to be straightened to line up hense why people need to foil mod their cards. There are instances of ram issues due to temps under the keyboard aswell resulting in replacement main boards
power jack failures
audio jack failures
like i said great products but atm there are better quality alternatives
but im not glossy eyes wearing rose tinted glasses alienware have their faults aswell but right now far less and less severe.
