Reviews for the AVADirect Menace 17

81% AVADirect Menace (Clevo P770ZM) Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The Menace is a barebones Clevo P770ZM chassis which is customized and sold by AVADirect. This notebook is predominantly designed for 3D gaming, but can also be equipped with workstation-class Nvidia Quadro cards for professional applications. The full power Intel desktop processors are likely the key selling points for this device. We ended up awarding the Menace our highest recommendation for providing great quality, outstanding performance, solid input devices, a helpful array of ports, good speakers, and a highly customizable LED backlit keyboard. Our only complaints surrounded its bright though average quality display.

Fast high-end graphics card based on the Maxwell GM204 chip from the GeForce GTX 900M series.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


3.9 kg:

Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight.
