The Clevo P770ZM is a high-end, 17-inch mobile workstation featuring Intel's 4th and 5th generation of Core i7 desktop processors. These Haswell and Broadwell CPUs provide higher clock speeds than notebook-class CPUs, but at the cost of added heat and power consumption.
For graphics, a powerful dedicated cards in NVIDIA's GeForce line are available to suit high performance needs. Although the CPUs technically have Intel graphics built in as well, that is *not* usable on this laptop: it used the dedicated video card alone. That helps avoid conflicts that can come up with software not properly using the dedicated card under Windows, as well as issues with Linux not being able to switch between Intel and dedicated graphics (which is a problem we've seen on other laptop models).
In addition to the built-in screen, HDMI and two DisplayPort outputs are present to hook up external monitors. The connectivity on this laptop includes four USB 3.0 ports, one eSATA (shared with a USB), and a memory card reader. The keyboard is back-lit, and accompanied by a touchpad that supports multi-gesture and scrolling. For storage it accommodates two 2.5-inch SATA drives and two M.2 drives, but no optical drive; if you need one of those an external USB model is available.

William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
There are a few things worth noting about this notebook:
- Of the two M.2 slots, only one supports high-speed PCI-Express drives. The other only operates at SATA 6Gbp speeds.
- One of the USB 3.0 ports is also an eSATA port.
- Even though it is a large laptop, intended as a desktop replacement, there is no optical drive bay.
- The WiFi card slot uses the M.2 form factor, rather than the Mini PCIe form factor.
