    I've never heard of this brand of laptops. Has anyone tried these out? Does it have adequate cooling?

      Horize (real name: Clevo) has a very large following on WP. It's not known as a mainstream brand mainly because it's a whitebox (custom barebones) laptop, and the fact that there are only 2 significant sellers in Australia that deal with Clevo laptops (LogicalBlueOne, and Affordable Laptops).

      • lucksmith on 13/06/2013 - 12:42

        Thanks! I'm seriously considering getting one now.

        A few questions that I'm hoping someone here could help me out with:

        Is it worth upgrading from the nVidia Geforce GTX670MX 3.0GB GDDR5 to the nVidia GTX765M 2.0GB for an extra $149?

        How many HDD slots does this have? Would I be able to install an SSD?

        • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 13/06/2013 - 13:19

          There are 2x mSATA Slots for mSATA based SSD
          1x Hard disk slot up to 9.5mm
          Then you can also convert the optical bay to another hard disk using the conversion kit which takes up to 12mm drives.

          As for the GPU, I think for the relatively small difference in price ($149) it is probably worth it. IMHO.

      Do a google search.

      Gamers love these laptops. For the serious gamer who want a custom laptop, it's usually a toss up between Horize and Metabox.

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 13/06/2013 - 11:13

      We have been selling these for a long while now. Around 4 years or so. Cooling? Yup excellent, about as good as you can get in a notebook considering this is 15.6" and with that level of graphics power. They run an individual heatsink and fan for the processor and graphics card. Here is an internal photo of the older model but it is basically the same on this newer one. Here is an internal image from a P150EM which has the same heatsink and fan setup: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/Meaks/BuildA.jpg

      • RedHab on 13/06/2013 - 11:57

          When running non GPU related tasks it is virtually dead quiet. Running a game or something like this will spin up both the CPU and GPU fans. I have heard those old HP DV6 and the like and they are incredibly loud, this is nothing close to that. You can comfortably game on this with no problem, headphones recommended still though!

    "GTX760M Shows approximately 14% faster than GTX670MX card on 3D Mark 11"

    They are about the same if you look at 3dmark 11 GPU score alone with 670mx outgunning 760m in some instances…

    3587 (670mx) vs 3302 (760m)…but with that said, 760m might see performance boost with future drivers…

    Edit: saw the upgrade option is actually 765m…so yes…765m is better than 670mx…Typo from OP in the description…

      I'm pretty sure you could always get an 802.11AC mini-pcie card in the future. It would just be a matter of taking of the base cover which is probably 1-8 screws and then just swapping out the cards and drivers. If that doesn't suit you just buy a USB network adapter.

  • The_Jackal on 13/06/2013 - 11:25

    I've been using a Metabox packaged Clevo for the last 6 months and I love it. Recommend getting at last a primary SSD. The screen and sound quality are both great for my needs. Heat seems fine - I've done long gaming sessions with no heat related restarts, which were common with my old system. Lots of hot air piped out the back of the system, but that's fine. The one quirk is a massive powerpack - not sure if it applies to this model. Battery lasts for about 2.5 hours on light-ish usage.

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 13/06/2013 - 11:39

      If you have an older model Clevo P151EM1 this has a much larger power supply. The newer revision P151EM1 and this model P151SM1 use a slimline power supply which is around half the thickness of the older type.

  • EarlyBird on 13/06/2013 - 11:44

    • limeburner on 13/06/2013 - 15:11

      I have had this model a couple of weeks with the older sandy bridge processor. Seems that if you inplug from the powerpack it reverts back to using the Intel graphics for gaming, even though settings are forced to the nvidia prcessor.

    • The_Jackal on 13/06/2013 - 15:56

      I've never run games on battery power, but I suspect the battery life would be very low - the 2.5 hours I quoted is using a browser with the screen dimmed! It's a beast of a GFX card!

        I'm sure it will be pricier than most but hopefully nothing ridiculous.

    Do this come with the LG panel? If Yes, and the quality is the same as 2 years ago, to change the panel in not an option, BUT A MUST !
    I recomment also to replace the optical drive with a secodn drive and have a SDD as your primary drive.
    Price for an upgrade to 780M or 680M(X)? The 670 comes in at position 15 on the top Nvidia Cards.

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 13/06/2013 - 14:03

      Yes the optional AUO 90 and 95% panels are nothing to be missed. They are absolutely amazing quality. Unfortunately this guy doesn't take the 780m or 680m out of the box so to speak. It is possible but it requires a power supply upgrade to a 180w one, all in all it would probably be cheaper to just get a model capable of the 680m as standard.

      • cameldownunder on 13/06/2013 - 15:18

        That's the one I installed. Rather easy to do myself, but I guess that voids the warranty. Not that I needed one. Running smoothly since 2 years (Except for the HD failure I had).

    4. The SSD upgrade seems a tad expensive, is this reasonable price?(OP/OZBer's)
    5. Would downgrading the 16gig ram to 8 gig ram make much diff?(OP/OZBer's)
    6. Is there a diff betwen SSD instead of both HDD and a SSD if you factor in that having a lot of space doesnt matter?(OP/OZBer's)
    7. What is/does a mSATA Drive do? is it worth getting? (OP/OZBer's)
    8. Worth it or wait a tad longer for a better deal?
    9. HOw is this brand? any bad , great reviews?

      3. Sure you can do return to base or pickup and return depending on which you select. RTB you can view the terms here: http://www.horize.com/index.php/warranty/
      4. All parts are we cover the warranty even if the manufacturer doesn't. So it has to be.

      6. Sorry, can you clarify this?
      7. It is a micro version of a normal size SSD. These run 6gb/s ports so you can take advantage of a very fast SSD but not take up a valuable hard disk bay.

        1. I know SSD is faster but If comparing A with B , A= having one ssd and b= having one ssd and one hdd is there any difference in speed or quality of the machine as a whole.

        I dont mind if the laptop only has like 128gig , i just want to know if having both SSD+HDD in it will make the machine run smoother ><" hope u understand

          no difference in speed as far as i know. If the operating system is on the SSD and the HDD is just used for extra storage as required, then there will be no performance or reliability benefit whether the HDD is present or not. To the best of my knowledge.

      8) If I would not already have a machine capable of playing in decent mode the latest games I would jump at this offer.

    So with both this and the 150EM spec'd up with 95% gamut, Intel WiFI+Bt v4, and adding the mSata 128GB to this, am I right in suggesting the only difference is the 150EM has backlit keyboard and a 3630QM, so I'd be swapping processors and $11 for a lit keyboard. Judging by CPU benches, not much in it either. Oh the pain of the procrastinator.

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 14/06/2013 - 09:49

      We add on our warranty to the price of all options as we are a system builder not a parts seller! It is completely different when it comes to having to be in standard with fair trading and Australian Laws. Inevitably we can't make it any cheaper.

  • Splashtash on 13/06/2013 - 23:21

    hmm so howmuch would a 128 gig ssd cost o.O? $120? and do they come in various sizes?

    • scrimshaw on 14/06/2013 - 00:35

      Because this laptop has only 1 bay for a regular 2.5" drive, you cannot use a 2.5" SSD along side a 2.5" HDD.

      Usually, MSATA drives are more expensive than ordinary sized 2.5 inch drives. The price premium is because of supply and demand.

      MSY sells the Plextor M5M for $129 so it's not terribly expensive over a 128GB 2.5" (which is around the $110 mark)

    Is it this laptop brand?

  • jolegape on 14/06/2013 - 13:54

    What would the gaming performance be like attached to a 1440p screen? Or would I be better off waiting for a decent priced GTX780m laptop.

  • Question on 14/06/2013 - 14:43

    Ive got the P151EM1B from the last promotion and im having a lot of fan noise problems with it…not sure if this will have the same problems since its the successor model. I asked around and some guy said clevo notebooks are known for having fan profile issues, not sure if thats true though…

  • Phoebus on 14/06/2013 - 15:52

    so about $1400 after eSATA SSD and OS. Pretty good bargin imo. Only downer is no IPS screen option.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/06/2013 - 13:22

    It says NO OS which is fine but I have tried to find W7 64 bit drivers with no luck can anyone help ??

    • Flyerone on 15/06/2013 - 15:15

      Don't they send the driver disks with the product?

  • Ebany on 18/06/2013 - 19:00

    So I've been trying to buy one for a couple of days now and I keep getting a price of $1199, I had this problem last time I went to buy a laptop from your site, am I just cursed or has the deal ended?

    • PCHammond on 19/06/2013 - 12:03

      Same here. Ive been holding off because the price is different to here. If its a mistake could you please extend the deal so we can get one?

      Also, im heading off overseas at the end of July. Assuming its made in 15 days, will the invoice show the date its paid for or the date it was sent for delivery?

      • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 19/06/2013 - 16:05

        Hi,

        Invoices are generated on the date of receipt of payment. If PayPal or Credit Card that will be instant. For Bank Transfer it is on the date we receive it cleared in the account.

        • PCHammond on 19/06/2013 - 16:36

          Damn! Thanks for the info.

          I may just have to suck it up and order before the 30 days before I fly. Thanks for the extension!

          In terms of stock, how much is left?

        • PissLUR on 25/06/2013 - 13:40

          It is! Thanks for letting me know

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 19/06/2013 - 16:06

      Maybe cursed, maybe not. We have extended the promotion now though so you can get it while stocks last at $1099.

  • jekel on 18/06/2013 - 21:12

    I'd like to know if can still get this for $1099 too?

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 19/06/2013 - 16:01

      We have been given approval to extend the sale so it should be updated now.

  • Splashtash on 18/06/2013 - 22:28

    They did say it might end on Tuesday..So i bought mine yesterday so im quite happy with the decision as I researched a lot and this company seemed to have great customer service. The deal seemed perfect for what I needed and at the right time :) I will update how the rest of it goes but delivery and assembling takes 15 working days ~_~ downside but worth the wait im sure.

      Too right.
      I'm really hoping that 15 working days is a worst case scenario and I get mine a lot sooner.
      Fingers crossed…
      And my F5 button is almost worn out :P

        • pumpkinspice on 20/06/2013 - 10:03

          Damn :(
          Thanks for posting, I don't want to hassle them with an email and delay them from building our laptops.

        • pumpkinspice on 03/07/2013 - 15:49

          Mine arrived today, can't wait to get home, install my SSD and get this up and running :D

        • pumpkinspice on 03/07/2013 - 22:22

          So far so bad.
          I didn't get a driver disc with the notebook.
          I'm downloading the drivers from the Clevo website and they're downloading at 6KB/s.

          Unfortunately for me, the LAN driver in Windows 7 doesn't work with this laptop and the driver I downloaded from Clevo doesn't work either.
          So to get it connected to my network I have to wait for the 300MB WLAN/Bluetooth driver to finish downloading (which is apparently going to take another 11hours 53minutes).

          As I can't connect to my wired or wireless network I'm having to use another computer to download the files and transfer via USB.
          I hope I can get this LAN situation sorted, but it won't really be an issue once WLAN is working.

          Anyone still waiting on their laptop should start downloading drivers now.

          Edit:
          Ok maybe it's the 35MB WLAN combo file, hopefully that works for the WLAN, BT and LAN.

          I downloaded all the drivers overnight and installed what I could this morning.
          In my communication with LogicalBlueOne it seems there are issues with Windows 7 and the drivers that Clevo supply.

          I can't install the LAN or WLAN drivers, and USB3 is not working after installing the chipset drivers (which appeared to install perfectly).

          After some digging today, I've found that this model is also sold as the Sager NP8230 and on the Sager website they have Windows 7 drivers as well as Windows 8.
          Their servers seem a lot faster to download from as well.

          I'll try their Win7 drivers when I get home and update.

          …no idea if anyone is actually reading this, lol.
