BIOS
The BIOS that Kobalt are using on this machine is a very basic affair with no options for overclocking the system, something that isn't wise with any laptop due to the tight thermal tolerances. The only configurable options worth mentioning (aside from setting the boot order and supervisor passwords) are for setting the SATA mode, bluetooth on/off and legacy USB support. There is also an option to turn off the battery low alarm, which can get a little annoying after a while.
that 480 is a monster. I dont mind those keyboards, I know the reviewer didnt seem to like them, but they work well for me.
Nice looking machine, good all round spec for gamers.
Uk only delivery on their machines I take it?
We have the atom version of this, well it looks a bit different, and its very good. well made products.
@Seveish, Kobalt will deliver to most of europe and probably farther afield if you ask them nicely 🙂
@ Seveish, Kobalt Ship worldwide 🙂
Thumbs down Don’t buy from Kobalt Computers
No communications, no contact, plenty excuses, but no laptop and after 10 weeks time has run out. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am with the level of customer service and disregard shown. After paying a large sum for a premium product and to receive nothing but excuses and empty promises this is totally unacceptable.
And it’s not like I can review the product as I cot nowhere near one, the review and pictures look good, but what’s the use of that when you’re 3K out of pocket… Keep well clear of these cowboys…
An Alienware would have been better than this…
