Team,

I have been a loyal Clevo owner for the past decade. I am currently running
Eluktronics P775TM1-G but its time for an upgrade after seven years.

I have never had any issues with Clevo laptops, except normal wear and tear (keyboard, cmos batteries replacement and so on).
My minimum requirements:
- 3 SSD with two configured as Raid 1 ( 1 TB + 2x 4 TB)
- Reliable cooling
Nice to have : Display with higher than Full HD resolution.

I am now torn among three options:
SAGER NP9580S (Clevo X580WNS-G) ~ 4,539 USD
Advantages:
  • Available in UHD screen
  • Big chassis – plenty of space for naturally aspirated cooling
  • SD card reader
Disadvantages:
  • Makes it all most impractical to travel with
  • Over 1,000 USD more expensive than competitor.

SAGER NP7571P (Clevo V370WNPQ) ~ 3,250 USD
Advantage:
  • Classical 17’’ laptop with ample space for naturally aspirated cooling
Disadvantages:
  • Reported reliability with keyboard and high noise
  • Only 17’’ FHD available.

SAGER NP9560P (Clevo X560WNR-G) ~ 3,100 USD
Advantages:
  • Screen is available 16" QHD+ 240Hz
  • Power efficient AMD AI 9 HX370
  • Can be travelled with
Disadvantages:
  • Slim design with dual fan design potentially leading to elevated SSD temperatures.
  • Only two SSD but can be configured as Raid 1.
  • Lack of external ports
Note: I looked at SAGER NP9560R but turn off point is Vapor Chamber Cooling – they don’t sell spare and its impossible to replace it a t home. Reported reliability / longevity is about 3 -4 years.

I am not playing games but can need fast acting support for 4K monitors. I don’t know what happen with reviews I am not able to find any feedback on those three laptops and be grateful for your views /opinions.

where did you get the Reported reliability from, a vapor chamber should last as long as an heat pipe
 
WARburton,

Thank you for your feedback. Mainly from Reddit threads. The other issue, when I spoke with Sager / XoticPC / others they dont sell spare vapor chambers (Reddit has also quotes of over $2,000 to ship and replace it post warranty). So I decided to stay away due to unproven technology and lack of the spare parts.

I would appreciate your views on the three laptops selection, but I am equally open for any other options which would meet the minimum requirements and have proven reliability records.

but where are you getting reports the a new laptop thats not been out 4 years is having problems with a vapor chamber after 4 years of use?
i have a GPU with a vapor chamber that's about 5 years old and it still works fine

if it as a fault it would be covered by warranty, i wouldn't buy a new laptop without a 5 year warrant tbf

WARburton, the vapor chamber is not a Clevo / Sager product unique design.
The way I see it - the technology is reportedly failing or there is significant risk of it. How can I mitigate it? By buying a spare vapor chamber to reduce repair cost and maintenance downtime + avoiding expenses of sending laptop away at a significant cost. This mitigation isnt available. As such potential consequences if risk to materialize become unacceptable for me (even sending it back and forth under warranty isnt worth it).
