Clevo Laptops in SA

[rodga]

Hi all

Been looking at who sells the clevo laptops locally, came across a few old threads about the mecer versions, but it doesnt seem like they still do it.

Looking at the Clevo P650, something like this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ronics&qid=1457954209&ref_=sr_1_1&s=pc&sr=1-1

or

Anyone else who rebrands these locally?

I have an old Mecer laptop with a Clevo board. I had to get my driver updates from the Clevo website.

Anyone?

But....why??

.

Clevo is a Taiwanese manufacturer who produces barebones notebook chassis which are then filled and sold by a variety of other OEM. Most of their frequently suggested models are gaming laptops, as models built on Clevo barebones tend to have very good performance for their price point.

Look at the Proline P650RE3 (http://www.pinnacle.co.za/#!/product/9267) and here at the Prostar Clevo https://www.pro-star.com/index.php?r=product/detail&model=P650RE&sub=review#gotop - looks the same to me

Got 2 of them shortly after I posted this thread. Got them through pclinkshop, who had the best price and was ready for collection the same day. Great piece of hardware.

I am quite keen on one as well. Will get hold of Pinnacle on Tuesday to get more information on the Proline laptops.

I think you might have to wait a while. I spoke to the guys at pinnacle before I got mine and it was the last 2 they had in stock. Not sure if they will be getting in more. If they do, expect a price increase thanks to the wonderful exchange rate.

Thanks, will check with the PE branch tomorrow - it's a new product and showing under the promotions emails - hopefully more stock has come in...
