What do you think, do you think it would be overkill to go for the 2x4GB memory, for the extra £30? Anyone had this laptop, encountered any problems with over heating and cooling?
It would be nice if someone could get back to me, thank you

Having read through this forum and 20 odd reviews on clevo laptops I have to say that there great laptops and for that price cant find anything close. I have just ordered almost exactly the same spec apart from dropping windows 7 as I get it for free and adding 8gb, however 4gb is more than enough I just thought it was worth the £30 price difference.

How well does it run, do you use it regularly , how well is the build? any things your disappointed with?

Sorry, I'm just really picky, so I'm doing research into laptops, to make sure I find the right one best for me.

Like Ive said I just ordered so I wont have it for awhile, but from what Ive read the build quality is the best around, and the only real disappointment is that it runs slightly on the hot side when gaming. When your just running it normally its extremely fast and quiet.
