The velocity of screw turns on and on, several weeks ago, Intel presented its refresh of mobile CPUs, Sandy Bridge series, AMD also expanded its portfolio with the new GPU Radeon HD 6990M up. In both features can draw the Schenker Notebook P501, which is already equipped with an Intel Core i7-2760QM whether the upgrade worthwhile for laptop gamers, we try to explain in detail.


Until we find the latest hardware components are actually in notebooks, usually some time going into the country no wonder, are assembled in the notebook industry leaders yet tested in large numbers, and put on the market. Time is just changing too fast, the CPU may be possible, but at considerable cost, with the GPU, it also provides a little more difficult from the cooling systems need to be adapted to different TDP values, which is a simple upgrade to a new top model can often be quite difficult.

Your advantage in precisely this respect can play small manufacturers such as Built to Order Notebooks Schenker, new components will be available shortly after launch and can be freely composed largely for his own liking, improper hardware configurations, as we have recently found in LG's P530 can thus already be avoided from the outset.


As housing is a barebone Clevo P150HM used, we also find in many other vendors, the technical component must be purchased so the flexibility offered by a lack of unique features in housing. Another feature of the Clevo barebones: Cooling is always designed to the maximum, so it's no problem to accommodate a maxi-GPU as the Radeon HD 6990M, the downside: Even seemingly small configurations, the cooling system developed a considerable volume level - as always is, where light, shadows as well.


The configuration is expensive test pattern can be proud of it entirely, the CPU is Intel's Sandy Bridge refresh i7-2760QM used as a spearhead AMD's current GPU in the form of the Mobility Radeon HD 6990M. Alone would justify a high price for two reasons, in addition, there is still an SSD, a large HDD and a matte 15-inch screen with full HD resolution all in all, leaving the P501 has a round and pleasant air.
