Clevo MobiNote M570A Review by NotebookReview

Clevo MobiNote series notebook computer M570A is 17″ WXGA or WSXGA or WUXGA TFT LCD Widescreen notebook running on Intel Pentium M Processor. The laptop also features nVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX or nVIDIA Quadro Fx Go 1400 or ATi Mobility Radeon X700 to X800 and Dual Channel DDR-2 533Mhz memory to satisfy the need of hardcode gamers for a mobile gaming machine.


NotebookReview used the Clevo M570A and concluded that “I was about to go for a Dell XPS M170, but I would have payed close to $1000 or more for the same thing. Im sure the XPS is a nice machine, but its a little too pricey for me. Additionally, since I want to be able to use my laptop at work, I can’t have a laptop that looks like a pure gaming machine, and this laptop does that job while still maintaining plenty of style.

All of the latest games can be played with ease. Battlefield 2 at highest settings and resolution? No problem.

Unfortunately, the problems with the sound and wireless, and the fact that I have to look into a USB wireless card since I only have one PCMCIA slot for the Sound Blaster, forces me to give the laptop a somewhat less than perfect rating. But the quality and value of the laptop make it well worth the purchase despite these flaws. I give it an A-.”

The Good

• Blazing fast processor and video card
• No stability issues
• Very well priced for what I am getting ($2200)
• Beautiful, good quality build and design (professional look)
• Great LCD screen with gloss coating (option to get one without)
• Lightweight for a desktop replacement
• Decent onboard sound quality
• A1 Customer support from ISTNC

The Bad

• Wireless has issues
• Heavy for a laptop
• Hiss in the background with sound, and chirping noise on headphones when IRDA is enabled
• Only one PCMCIA slot - Meaning I can’t have one of those PCMCIA Sound Blasters and a PCMCIA wireless at the same time
