Clevo M570A Review
![]()
When it comes about laptops for gaming, Clevo M570A is a noticeable choice: the Pentium M 2 Ghz (Dothan) Processor, 2 Gb Dual Channel DDR-2 533Mhz memory RAM and Geforce Go 7800 GTX 256Mb graphic system create the perfect environment for this use. More than that, the 17 inch widescreen (huge for a laptop), makes the experience of gaming looking spectacular. The keyboard is great, has a good feel (not too hard or too easy to press the keys), and comes with a full number pad. There is no flex to the keyboard, and the buttons are well placed. The touch pad is extremely sensitive.

Being a 17 inch laptop, it is very heavy, however, very slim. As for image quality (gloss coating adds too), very little or no ghosting present in fast paced games, and the viewing angle is adequate. Poor sound quality and poor volume make headphones or some external speakers almost a necessity (this seams to be a problem with most of the notebooks on the market).
Clevo M570A has a large variety of I/O Ports: 4x USB 2.0 ports, 1x Mini IEEE1394a port, 1x Serial port, 1x S-Video jack for TV output, 1x DVI port, 1x Headphone jack, 1x Microphone jack, 1x S/PDIF output jack, 1x Line-in jack, 1x RJ-45 port for LAN, 1x RJ-11 port for Modem, 1x Type II PCMCIA socket, Embedded 4-in-1 Card Reader (MS/MS Pro/SD/MMC).

Communication can be done via Infrared Transfer (115.2Kbps SIR / 4Mbps FIR, IrDA 1.1 commpliant, 30cm), 10/100/1000BASE-TX Fast Ethernet on board, Integrated V.90/56K Modem (V.92 compliant), Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG, and Bluetooth TM Class II V1.2 Module. A 1.3M-pixel Video Camera module is also present. Battery life on this laptop is about two to two and a half hours - not a wonder it’s not longer on this configuration, but it can be successfully used as a desktop replacement.
