Eurocom Sky X4C Core i9-9900KS Laptop Review: Unlocked Desktop Processor in a Mobile Form Factor

The three-year old Clevo P751DM2 chassis is beginning to show its age. While the system can handle Intel's latest Core i9 CPU, it can't fully exploit the high Turbo Boost potential of the processor without running at temperatures well beyond 90 C.

The Nightsky RX15 is one of the few narrow-bezel 15.6-inch laptops offering unlocked Core i9-9980HK CPU options. Meanwhile, its OLED option makes the system competitive against the Razer Blade 15, Alienware m15, and Gigabyte Aero 15 which all have similar OLED features.

Clevo is getting better at creating more visually attractive gaming laptops without sacrificing the core performance advantages that the series is known for. We only wish that it could be easier to service.
