        I know it's likely because of price-point advertising, but that 16GB upgrade is definitely a no-brainer, and pretty much the same with the 240GB M.2 SSD

    Not knocking this deal because it certainly looks like good value, but anyone in the market should consider that new GPUs are on the way and it certainly looks like new CPUs (Kaby Lake) are potentially on the way.

        It's a decent option if you want a cheaper laptop, but it's second hand. The metabox is better, if you can stretch a few hundred more you'd be nuts not to get this metabox with the 16gb ram and 256gb ssd upgrades, plus gtx 970m is almost twice as fast as gtx 960m.

      • Pacify on 03/06/2016 - 22:14

        refurb with 960. The metabox is way better

    • TRANCE on 03/06/2016 - 21:17
      +3

      A laptop with the new gear would cost about $500 more than this at release, so it's not like waiting for the new gear will net you anything unless you have a bigger budget to start with, and the old models don't get cheaper than this anyway. So this deal makes sense if you want a good value gaming laptop anytime soon.

  • MelbournianBoy on 03/06/2016 - 21:39

    This is one of Clevo barebone laptops, isn't it? Overheating, extreme fan noise, dead pixels on a display, poor battery life…Clevo's laptops have received so much criticism yet it seems like the company has strived after all. I am tempted, but I still have my doubts on Clevo's laptops so I will probably pass.

    • bchliu on 04/06/2016 - 00:42

      Gaming laptops typically have poor battery life. If you think overheating is bad, then you have never tried a 14" Razer or equivalent. The bigger models (15 and 17) of these Clevos have triple fans in them that are apparently as good or better than the other named brand models. They arent using cheap heat paste either from the product descriptions, so it should be good.

    • belongsinforums on 04/06/2016 - 02:00

      Mine doesn't overheat. I use a cheap laptop stand with fans to give it more airflow. Definitely noisy and the power drains the battery fast, but that's unavoidable if you want said power. Display is beautiful and clear in sunlight. Everything else is top notch: keyboard, touchpad, portability, finish, ports…

    • FreoIsaac on 04/06/2016 - 02:16

      i've got this exact model had it for less then a week but its great value for money, no overheating issues, fan noise can be adjusted depending what your using it for no louder then standard gaming pc, no dead pixels some have had issues with backlight bleed but metabox test them all in the build process and mine has none, battery life could be better but not really bothered as i have it plugged in to power 70-80% of the time

    • nmabuti on 04/06/2016 - 04:05

      I own a p650re and it never overheats, not noisy, and doesn't have any dead pixels. I get 3-4 hrs max on battery on average use, which is normal for a gaming laptop. If u want long battery life then metabox is not for u. .

    Hi there, what is the carbon fibre wrap? Is it replaces the case?

    What is the weight of this with n without hdd, with n without carbon case.

    Thanks!

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 04/06/2016 - 04:18

      The carbon fibre wrapping is like a covering over the surface of the laptop. It has a raised bumpy feel to it too if you run your finger/hand over it.
      Remember how as kids we used to cover our school books to make them last longer :) it's a bit like that but obviously a lot more professional looking and better quality.

      It wouldn't really increase the weight or anything or make more rigid.

      Weight is 2KG with battery, probably add about 50g for a M.2 SSD and/or 200g for a hard drive.

    Hi there,
    Is the 3k screen upgrade different to the one on the metabox website? Just noticed that it costs $100 more.

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 04/06/2016 - 08:39

      It's exactly the same 3K panel.
      Basically it's $100 more on this deal to keep the overall price the same as the normal P640RE.
      In a nutshell, the $100 saving on this P640RE deal isn't for the 3K panel version.
      This is because the panels aren't interchangeable, the 3K version is a completely different unit.
      This deal is for the 14" FHD 1920x1080 Matte 60Hz LED version.

      I hope this makes sense.
