I think it's great that user comments have been considered and an update to the article was made to clarify that this is a Clevo barebone.

However, I made a comment concerning the that Fujitsu model on "The Best Notebook Displays" uses a 'PenTile'-matrix not-true-high-resolution display, and that this should affect its ranking. This comment not been addressed by Notebookcheck staff, with either agreement or disagreement. I've pointed out a handful of similar oversights or miswordings on this subject on other articles too, and there has been no indication that Notebookcheck has read or cared to take action on the issues.

What you did in this article is great. But why isn't this done everywhere on the site?

It seems to be the same barebone as already tested with the XMG Pro 17 (85%)

Origin is offering the questionable upgrade to i9, that I would never take in such a slim device, however it seems they offer a 1070 max-Q. This combined with an i7, re-paste option, undervolting and a tweaked fan profile could be interesting.

Hope that re-sellers in Germany/Europe start to offer repasting services too in the near future, to get the crappy China pasting under control, that seems to be unavoidable with nearly every notebook brand.

What is this GTX 1070 Max-P? A better version of the Max-Q design? ;)

But seriously, I hope you'll be able to test this machine in the near future.

Origin's new EVO17-S is the thinnest and lightest 17-inch laptop from the custom OEM. That said, the device is still comparatively hefty at 0.98-inches thick and 6.6. lbs. However, crammed into the case are an Intel Core i9-8950HK, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-P, and up to 6 TB of NVMe and SATA storage. Expect to pay out the nose for all that tech, though.
