Yeah it seems so. When I first read about this TLC of Samsung I just said, WTH. I was not convinced before for SSDs to move from SLC to MLC chips but it was a decision on economics and it turned out okay. Better wait for write endurance reviews for the new Samsung.

It's better to wait till next year for prices to drop.

Darn... now I understand how you guys feel... waiting for your laptop to be delivered seems like ages...

Anyway I made an awful lot of requests to check the unit and I think the wait is worth it.

Hi Josh0027,

Your laptop is almost ready, we are on the final stage of burn-in test.

We will definitely deliver within mentioned lead time.

Do you guys facing any screen freeze when laptop on the battery? (Power Saver) mode? What I mean is like total freeze, you can't move anything at all and the solution is to force turn off the laptop.

Hi Prince J,

Good afternoon! No worries. I've already told Marc to wait for Clevo on the new BIOS and EC until Monday. I can still wait.


Thanks,
Josh

Hi bugb34r,

I have a few questions for Illegear products.

What is the clevo/sager model name of RU-14 pro, RE-13 pro and RE-15?
I want to read review from other sites based on the actual model/chassis name.

Is it possible to install independent graphic card in RU-14 pro?

Thanks.

Hey chyen,

RU-14 Pro = W740SU
RE-13 Pro = W230ST
RE-15 = W350STQ

If you mean MXM type graphic card like GTX 780M and AMD 8970M, it's impossible to be equipped on RU-14 Pro.

Prince J, notice that RS and RX now has the option to put in Quadro GPU.
Currently options seems to be Quadro K1000M and K3000M. When can we expect the latest gen, eg. Quadro K1100M, K2100M, etc? (apparently there is quite a performance jump between K1000M and K1100M).

Thanks. I'm looking for alternative to Dell Precision M4800.

Less than a week till end of SSD Promo!
