AVADirect Custom Computers Awards and Reviews

10/4/2011

"While our last review of an AVADirect desktop was the Nano Gaming Cube, which seemed to be practically bursting at the seams with hardware, the Lian Li enclosure used for the Compact Gaming PC we have in house seems far better suited to the tasks at hand. AVADirect's engineers were able to put together a smart, clean design and rise to the challenge of cooling such a monstrous machine to the best of their ability."   - Dustin Sklavos

"All of the systems in this year's Dream PCs roundup have stellar scores, so pointing out exceptional results in a particular area feels a bit like splitting hairs. After all, any of the rigs in these pages will chomp through varied workloads with voracity. That said, this entrant (AVADirect) logged some of the highest frame rates and 3D scores in our showdown. Hey, AVADirect told us flat out that is was a gaming PC."   - Andrew Leibman

"When it comes to buying a gaming notebook with the latest and greatest technology, one of the best options is a customized Clevo gaming rig. And, when it comes to custom Clevo notebooks, the team at AVADirect continues to produce some impressive PCs. It is true that other custom notebook resellers offer the Clevo X7200 with similar configurations, but we have been pretty impressed with this particular machine."   - Jerry Jackson

"If you're looking for a fully customizable gaming laptop that can be configured with the ultimate graphics card and a custom paint job, the AVADirect Clevo P150HM is a worthy contender."   - Christine McKee

"Spoiler alert: they're fast. The X7200 with the dual AMD Radeon HD 6970Ms is the fastest gaming notebook we've ever tested, and as you'll see it's usually by a healthy margin. We start with our "high" preset, and what's really impressive is that you'll see the top end start to actually get a little CPU-limited. This is the first time I've really seen this happen with notebook graphics and a processor this fast."   - Dustin Sklavos

"Its simple looks are also offset by its price. But what you’re paying for are all the internal goodies. Besides offering killer computing and mobile graphics performance, the P150HM gives you 256GB of fast SSD storage and a Blu-ray drive to boot. Indeed, this machine could ably serve as a primary computer."   - Katherine Stevenson

"Using the same X7200 notebook and non-graphics hardware, AVADirect's GTX 485M SLI machine provides around 6% better average gaming performance at around 10% lower cost than its competitor's 6970M CrossFire solution."   - Thomas Soderstrom

"On our WorldBench 6 suite, the P151HM achieved a solid score of 132, but its gaming performance was truly impressive. The P151HM carries an Nvidia GTX 460M with 1.5GB of video memory and full support for DirectX 11. On 3DMark 2011 its score was 1800--one of the better marks I've seen from a laptop in this class. On the Far Cry 2 benchmark the system delivered a rate of 56.8 frames per second (without antialiasing), which is pretty darned good. Even better, it ran the highly demanding Metro 2033 at 30 fps, albeit at medium settings. Finally, it ran the F1 2010 Formula One racing game, with the high preset enabled, at 67 fps--not too shabby."   - Loyd Case
