Schenker Key 15 (Clevo PC50DN2) in review: A lot of performance in a slim, compact case

85% Schenker Key 15 (Clevo PC50DN2) in review: A lot of performance in a slim, compact case

Light gaming powerhouse. Thanks to its powerful hardware, the soberly designed Schenker Key 15 brings all the latest computer games smoothly onto the matte 15.6-inch screen (Full HD, IPS, 144 Hz). The device can be individually customized to your own needs. In addition, the BIOS enables the undervolting of the CPU and iGPU.

82% Nexoc GH7 (Clevo NH77DCQ) Review: Gaming laptop with a replaceable battery

Lots of space for storage. Due to its rather classic build, the GH7 from Nexoc, which is based on a Clevo barebone, offers a lot of space for maintenance options. While the cooling system is also able to keep up well with the GTX 1660 Ti that is used here, it might become a bottleneck with the more powerful GPU options. Our review will clarify what else buyers can expect.
