Hello Prema. I registered on this site after some years of unconditional follow. I think what you're doing to the tech community is invaluable. I don't know of anyone else who's made such a good reputation only by doing, instead of talking. Incredible. I have little-to-no-money usually therefore I can upgrade my laptop once every 5 years, at least. SO, once I can finally upgrade, I like to take care & make out the maximum (reliability and optimization) mainly with the concern of a long life. I have little abilities with solder and reflow, so usually I can even recover unfunctional laptops and avoid buying a new one. So what? I wanted to send you a PM, but I couldn't send it to you. So what again? Eh. Finally during this 2017 I hope I'll be able to buy a new one. Seeing in the years what you made possible on the Clevo barebones I would definitely buy one, but the production of small factor jam packed machines in 2017 seems to be disappointing. I mean things like thundebolt 3 enabled machines within the 14" frame, Kaby lake HQ, GTX 1060. That's the best I can think of under future-proof ability. But this has nothing to do with your invaluable work. Your work comes in the update of the code BIOS code, making the machines run great. I understand your scoop is in the Clevo, not MSI and not Asus. With those, you provide only upgraded GPU microcode. Buying a MSI I would only satisfy the right-now available state of the art. Buying Clevo I could hope in a longer support, given I would reward you for the excellent work. I see you're partnering with some resellers, providing optimized BIOSes (and I see as well you had problems with some nasty liers, which is against all kind of considerations about karma and similar...) but again, no hope for a 14" TB3 7700HQ GTX1060 little monster by Clevo with all your magic plugged on, in 2017. So, what do you advice? I wouldn't trust MSI. It's all maketing, average build quality and lack of your support. CLEVOs are very well built, no fuzz, no 16millions colors backlights, no marketing, and your mindblowing support for OSX, too! (by memory: OC, UV, iGPU update, dGPU update, PCI update, HT on off, dGPU on off, vPro, VTx, hidden options and what not!) But they won't make the right one for me. Once I spend 2000 something drops of my sweat-blood, I only hope for me and my peers to have your work beneath it. The beast HAVE to run with me for ages, and I trust no one like you. Please, shed some light. Meanwhile, I'll keep on earning and deserving cake. Ah, I know, this is very long. Could be shorter, but surely less warm-hearted as well. And yes, there are private messages, but apparently you cannot receive any. And yes, I'm a person. I like to stand to my actions. And lastly, I hope this sign of consideration toward you can be subscribed by others as well, so I hope not too much bother. I wonder if you make a life out of it. Dunno, but you clearly should. You deserve all you desire. Rare nowadays to find someone that's dedicated and competent. So, I hope you're building your happiness. Sorry again for the papyrus. Take care & keep up the good work. There's a huge bunch of people that believe in your talent.
