Ok, I can confirm that it works, and that a £3 passive Mini-DP to DVI adaptor is sufficient. However if you like your window animations, it should probably be noted that the onboard Intel graphics do struggle with a desktop this size (1080x1920 + 1920x1200 + 1920x1200). They're fine doing the...

I have an Optimus VII. I notice it has both MiniDP and HDMI ports on the back. I was wondering if, with appropriate adaptors, I could hook up both my 1920x1200 DVI monitors to the laptop, and use them simultaneously along with the internal screen to create a triple monitor setup. I do this with...

This seems to be happening to a lot of nV Optimus machines, including my Optimus 7 running Windows 10, but as I don't have any direct relationship with nVidia, Microsoft or Clevo, I'm asking here. Fairly sure I know why it's happening, it's because the GTX960M isn't directly wired up to the...

I know Clevo do some docking stations, and looking at the back of the Optimus 7 it should be pretty easy to make one, since there's power, usb and two video outputs next to each other. Does such a thing exist, or do I have to get creative with gluing cables into a block of wood? :)

A random Polish person posted a video of disassembling one of these. Looks like it's an B-keyed M.2 slot, which apparently takes PCIe-x2, SATA and SMBus according to wikipedia, though only half length. In theory then, an SSD should fit??

I have this laptop, it has a nice 256GB SM951 as the primary controller and a cheapo mechanical drive in the SATA slot, and I know the mobo has two more PCIe slots. One for the wireless, which I'm using and one for the 4G module which I'm not using and don't intend to ever use. I doubt this...

I need to get a dump of the nVidia BIOS, but can't find a way to do this on my Linux install, and don't really want to blow it away just for this. Can someone on windows who has GPU-Z installed possibly do this for me? It's simple enough to do, the very first page of that app has a button to do...

I'm speccing up a 15" Optimus 7 to replace my dead 17" Optimus 3 (so glad it was insured, free upgrade) Got a budget of around £800-ish, and am just wondering if it's worth springing the extra £6 for the KillerNIC vs the Intel one. Not too worried about the price, more worried about the...

Trying to get the digital audio to work on my Optimus II. I've got the latest realtek drivers installed and can set the output to the Realtek SP/DIF outut. The Sound control panel shows audio being sent to that port however there is no sound. I know the cable is fine because if I plug it into...

Got a problem with the I key on my new optimus II. It feels like there is something stuck under the top right corner of the I key, which makes it spongy and unresponsive. I have no idea what it is, can't see anything and it's been like that since new. Is it safe to pull the keys off on this...

Just received my shiny new Optimus II, and even though I'm still in work the first thing I did was install Steam and play Super Meat Boy. I mapped up the keys, WSAD for movement, J for run and K for jump, same as on my desktop at home. These keys work individually, but I cannot press, for...

I'm currently looking at one of the above two laptops as a possible purchase, however the photographs of them show a US keyboard layout. I'm presuming that these are generic photographs, would it be possible to get a photograph of the UK layout. I'm also guessing, given the above photographs...
