Hi I am interested in purchasing the enigma iv laptop, from what I can gather it looks like it is based on the clevo W150Er m/q. Pc specialist list it as having a 2gb ddr3 gt650m the same as the inferno which is based on the clevo w110er but every other seller, clevos website and reviews like

List the w150er as having a gddr5 gt650m. Was just wondering if the gt650m memory on the enigma iv is DDR3 or gddr5?
Does anybody know? Would appreciate any help someone can give before ordering I am undecided on weather or not to buy the enigma iv with gt650m or the Optimus iv with gtx 660m. I want to have a gpu with gddr5 memory. I Am not to bothered if the gtx660m is slightly faster aslong as the enigma iv has gddr5 memory.
Thanks.

It basically means that if you order a 1080p laptop the ddr3 memory will struggle with the 1080p resolution so you would have to game at 720p in a 1080p screen or buy the enigma with 720p screen which in my opinion will look not as good as it would on the inferno because 720p will look better on a smaller screen than a big screen. On all benchmarks the ddr3 gt650m matches the gddr5 version until you go to higher resolutions. So I'm stuck on weather to order the optima iv and have to save in other places because of my budget or get the inferno. So many decisions.

Its a nightmare ordering a laptop from here, it some ways much easier when in pc world as you get what your given so to speak.

I have ordered myself a system last week but still keep checking and changing the order. How long do you want the laptop to last? I want mine to last 5 or 6 years so I have gone for the best possible I can afford. I went for middle of the road with a £1000ish budget. I would get the full HD screen will look better and give more desktop space.

Good luck.

I know what you mean iv gone through tons of configurtions. Id sooner get one from here tho more bang for your buck. I'm after about £650 budget.. Only want it to last a couple of years. Not worried about having everything on ultra would be happy with high settings just concerned the ddr3 on the enigma is gonna struggle with full hd so am gearing towards the optima iv.

Guess your looking at Optimus 15" with I3 processor & 4gb ram and the rest all standard, would go with silver warranty and poss one year dead pixel. Total £664.00, selecting the next HDD (500GB) seems to make no price difference!!!!

That's kinda what I was thinking just worrying that the i3 will be a bottleneck. I could always upgrade the CPU myself down the road though.
