Luckily, Clevo has been in the DTR game for some time and their chassis have proven themselves to be up to the task. With a combined power draw that can close in on 300 Watts even at stock frequencies, that’s a lot of heat to remove so proper cooling is important. Packing a desktop CPU into a notebook computer is not for the faint of heart, and cooling this, coupled with the RTX 2080 can be a challenge. The device leverages the SoundBlaster X-Pro Gaming sound card. This is more common on the large form factor gaming laptops, where the additional audio inputs may be useful for streaming. The Sky X7C also features four 3.5 mm jacks, offering audio out, audio in, microphone in, and SPDIF. The speakers reached 80 dB(A) measured one inch over the trackpad, with no clipping or distortion even at maximum volume. Sound quality on the stereo Onkyo speakers is surprisingly good, with reasonable midrange and bass thanks to the 2.5W Subwoofer, with the caveat of course that all laptop speakers are poor compared to proper standalone models.
It’s a great design for this class of laptop, where that could easily be the use case. The included speakers are smartly arranged so that they project forwards and upwards from the rear of the notebook, and the speaker grilles are visible with the notebook open or closed, meaning the audio would still be the same if the notebook was being used closed while connected to an external display and keyboard. If you have a router with 160 Mhz channel support, performance would be even higher, since the connection speed would double from the normal 867 Mbps of a typical 2x2:2 802.11ac solution to 1.73 Gbps. Performance was, as expected, excellent, and the 9260 continues to be the top wireless card of the current generation, with great performance, and a rock-solid connection. For this review, we opted for the base Intel 9260 solution.
Both offer similar performance, with the Killer adding in additional software features including the ability to team with the included Killer Ethernet for the Doubleshot Pro, if you want to prioritize your traffic across multiple connections. So the half day will be lost, (away from work) because i am forced to find a way to 'correct' the flaws of a bad designed laptop.Eurocom offers the Sky X7C with your choice of either the Intel Wireless-AC 9260, or the Killer Wireless-AC 1535, which is based on the Intel offering. Maybe a usb fan under the chassis will do the trick. SFX of need for speed U2 that covers the noise Tommorow, i will go to the shops. The only laptops that they are 'allowed' to be noisy are the gaming laptops. But if the noise is so terrible, how is one supposed to work in a productive way? They could have put a better fan (some $ more) and improve the overall comfort. I am still wondering what in heck was thinking CLEVO when they designed this notebook. Furthermore i examined it and it seems clean. PS: the noise was present from the first day, so i do not take into account the possibility of having somehting stuck in the fan.
