I've got a couple of laptops I'm keeping an eye on namely the new HP Omen and the new Legion 5. Another one thrown into the works was a XMG Core 15.
What are the clevo style laptops like with thermals and build quality? Would you opt for one over one of the big players in the market?
I'm sure I read somewhere they provide chassis to bigger manufacturers, Any truth to that?
 
What are your requirements? More importantly what’s your budget?

The high end clevo chassis are quite robust and large but pretty much no frills, at least they were last year when I was looking. Things change so fast in the fickle gaming laptop world. When the big players moved over to thin and light as you can probably imagine the thermal Prerequisites changed too. Due to the customisation you have over the components in the clevo they recommended the largest chassis to me so that it aided the airflow. But it was a fairly minimalist design in my opinion. That said I’ve owned a few different types of gaming laptop over the years and the better laptops were by and large the ones with the original style larger and deeper chassis as they were often quieter. public demand opted for more space saving, hence thinner and lighter, which equates to more noise. They’ve tried to add appeal to this by introducing per key coloured chiclet or mechanical keyboards where possible and the illumination genuinely helps especially at night. But the noise will always be a compromise especially if you use demanding apps or games.

I'm just looking for a fairly decent laptop that will do me for gaming needs at medium/high settings for a few years.
My budget is around £1200 so been looking at the Dell G5 SE, the new HP Omen, legion 5 or a Clevo.
I'm pretty certain I will be aiming for a 4800H with a 2060 or a 5600m/5700m.
I'm not too worried about brands. Just looking for reliability, fairly decent thermals etc.
 
Check out the Dell G15 SE. Can get it for £1034 with discount codes.

144hz 15''6 VA screen
4800H
AMD 5600M
16gb 3200 ram

I've just ordered one as I can't see anything else remotely comparable for the price
