Next is probably AMD motherboard and then we can have a complete AMD computer... Re: What is next... (Score: 1) by nightsky30@pipedot.org on 2014-08-08 11:11 (#2S8) I didn't know about the RAM. Relying on others to supply parts while not bringing anything new up to the plate sounds like a mediocre-bad idea. Re: What is next...

Clevo make a ton of laptop cases which they sell to smaller 'custom' laptop companies. They're largely the same save for branding and specs (though when you're using the same boards how much changes?). It's amazing, really. Alienware Area 51-M is the same as the Sager 5660. Sager rebrands clevo, Dell rebrands Sager.
