    They still exist

    • I have to say, the reason I bought my GPD Win Max 2 (to replace a Lenovo Yoga Book, so… also quite a leap in performance) was because despite its diminutive footprint it has a decent array of ports. It’s got two USB 3 A ports, two type C ports, one of which supports USB4 and USB PD, a full size HDMI port, a headphone/mic jack (a rarity nowadays), a full size SD card reader, and a microSD reader. The thing is 10.5" diagonally. Not the screen – the entire computer.

        That looks great for a true traveler’s solution, I’ll keep that in mind. The Clevo/Sagers are admittedly much better suited as a portable desktop replacement. They are heavy AF.

      Clevo? I used to have one of those. Was a laptop from 2009. Sadly the fan sensors failed and now it shuts down on boot due to always thinking its overheating. However, it wasn’t sold under Clevos brand name, had Turbo-X (local company where I live) branding and even a “Style note” splash screen.

        Yep, my Clevo from 2014 is still going strong, handles everything including games on Switch emulators as well as I need it to. Never had an issue with it except to replace the fans about a year ago, and self-upgraded the GPU somewhere along the line to the max it could take. Eventually I’ll need to upgrade, and will probably go back to LPC if someone better isn’t available. But for expansive hardware you can’t get much better. All they’re missing is water cooling. You can max out the latest 17” ones with a 4090 and 8TB of SSD.

        edit: Last time I checked, I also noticed that as long as you’re not getting a model with a 4080 or 4090, somehow they manage to run everything off a power adapter that pulls significantly less wattage than their competitors. You could still use it off an RV solar power and inverter setup without much strain to the system.
