Reviews for the Digital Storm Veloce

60% Digital Storm Veloce
Source: Wired Magazine English Archive.org version
Graphics and gaming benchmarks also muddied the picture. The Veloce got a record-high on 3DMark 11, but on non-synthetic tests it didn’t fare as well. While 63 fps on S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat is fine, it’s half what the Razer Blade 14-inch pulled. The Veloce also placed well behind the Blade 14 on both Heaven 3.0 and Heaven 4.0 benchmarks, scoring just 75 percent of the Blade’s frame rate numbers. All that said, real-world performance is quite good — every game we played was smooth and hiccup-free. But if you’re looking for bleeding edge, you just won’t find it here.

60% Digital Storm Veloce (Level 1) 13.3-inch Gaming Laptop Review
Source: Comp Reviews English Archive.org version
For those looking to get a compact gaming laptop, the Digital Storm Veloce Level 1 system is certainly much more affordable than others and also offers a solid gaming experience in terms of the graphics and display. The problem is that the reduced size of the keyboard can make the system a bit more difficult to use compared to a larger one.

The ultraportable revolution has reshaped the entire laptop industry over the last year, but some of the most dramatic changes have happened in gaming, where performance has finally reached the point that portability is attainable.The Digital Storm Veloce packs a lot of punch, and promises gaming performance on the go, but it falls a bit short in terms of battery life.

80% Digital Storm Veloce

Ultimately, the Digital Storm Veloce is a question of priorities. If you value power over portability and display resolution over frame rates, then there's a lot to like about the Veloce, which led in most of our performance tests and offers a higher 1080p resolution. However, at this size of laptop, portability is often the greater concern, and the heavier weight, chunkier design, and dramatically shorter battery life prevent the Digital Storm Veloce from taking home top honors. As a result, while the Digital Storm Veloce is recommended for performance fiends, the Razer Blade (2013) remains our Editors' Choice for ultraportable gaming.

80% Digital Storm Veloce Review and Ratings
Source: Computer Shopper English Archive.org version
The Digital Storm Veloce is a $1,596 gaming laptop that squeezes considerable Core i7 and GeForce power behind a 13.3-inch, full HD display. It's more spunky than suave compared to the thinner, lighter Razer Blade, but a solid solution for portable play.

Clevo's new gaming laptop is cheap, powerful, flawed
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
In a market obsessed with slim, lightweight, energy-efficient machines, gaming laptops stick out like a sore thumb. Despite its triumphs in performance, the Veloce's design flaws reduce it to what is ultimately a very average gaming laptop. It's built from excellent components, but it's weighed down by a host of nagging issues.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M:

High-End Graphics cards as part of the Geforce 700M series based on the Kepler architecture.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


4800MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.7 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Digital Storm: American hardware shop, founded 2002, which sells an own laptop brand.


72%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
