Customizable laptops from Azom

I don't want the y510p because it is just a OCed y500. A single gpu is better than a sli config because of microstuttering, support etc.
I also have a bad experience of y500 as the left hand palm rest becomes hot after gaming for sometime. I also plan to OC the gtx670mx

You can try asking them for a current recent quote for the config... My quote is like 6 months old... Looked at their FB page and it looks impressive... Does not seem to be a bad deal if you can get it at a decent price... Also, contact them regarding the T&Cs of the warranty provided... If they have some deal with Clevo, maybe they can provide you with some other models too rather than the ones shown on their website...
Anyway, keep us informed!!! :-D

As I was saying, I need that useless 4 years warranty in any laptop to buy it. I contacted Azom. Base price = 76,100. Vat=5%.
Total = 79,900. 3 years extra warranty = 6000. So total is 85,990.
I contacted a nearby lenovo store, they quoted 82,000 for y510p (4 years warranty).
4k is not bad for a better graphic card but 500GB less HDD space but faster HDD. (right?)
Oh I also noticed that the keyboard is multi-colored LED backlit and they are providing a free laser etch or a vinyl artwork.
They are promising delivery within a week of shipping. They even went ahead and said that it may be even 3-4 days(after shipping).

Seems a good deal... :-D Did you ask about the type of warranty??? Like, is it on-site or carry-in???
And, also, whether it is possible to buy some other model not listed because the other Clevo models really kick ass!!! :mrgreen:

^^ +1 we do really need more.
website opening fine on chrome.
asked for quote of two laptops.
the problem is, you just have two CPUs to choose from (for the laptops).
i hope they get an i5 variant on the choices list soon. :rolleyes:

I don't know if their warranty can be 'trusted' or not. Of course if they advertise a 4 year warranty(I didn't read about it, but I'm trusting you did) then they will be in a legal obligation to abide by it.
Their laptop isn't 'the best bang for buck' since the Y510p is pretty close in terms of power for a substantially less price, nor are they selling the latest hardware(3rd gen CPUs and GTX 670), But it hits that sweet spot as there's practically nothing else available which is better than Y510p but not as expensive as an Alienware/Asus G750JX.

That being said, I still wouldn't say their warranty is unreliable. Granted they import things, but since they're a COMPANY and customize Clevo books, they must have some tie-ups with Clevo and other companies where they get supplies from. They will have to fix any manufacturing issues. Its a leap of faith, to a certain extent, I'd agree, but sometimes, when you have the money and you know what you want, you have to take it.

I ordered a custom SkyfireIII from pcspecialist.co.uk. I'll get no warranty in India(I have to ship it to UK in case something happens to it, which will be virtually impossible for me to do) but I know its something powerful for the price and I trust that unless I'm super-mega-crazy unlucky, nothing un-fixable will happen to my laptop.Azom seems like much less risk.

which one you're getting ? 17.3 "for £890 ?

and guys ask Azom for newer stuff, 670MX is pretty old

no, the 14" one. Based on the MSI 1492. I wanted portability and battery life + gaming power. Total cost £692. I've written the specs in the thread I started..
It was delivered to my cousin in the Uk today! She's coming to India on the 19th though, so I'll only get it after that...I'll review it when its here.

They have up to 770m available, last i contacted them. You just have to contact them once, and then they seem very eager to give you any information you need

i looked up to Azom coz i will need a legit hood where i can at least dump my X157 for repair in case i prove to be unlucky while in india, i also will have no warranty in india as clevo has no presence. So all i need a place who understands a gaming laptop and the insight against money.
