PCSpecialist Vortex IV 770XS Review

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

Sandra is a (girl’s) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

Native ports for all major operating systems are available:

  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x86)
  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x64)
  • Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
  • Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
  • Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)

All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:

  • SMP – Multi-Processor
  • MC – Multi-Core
  • SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
  • MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions

There is no doubt that the new 4700MQ is a formidable processor, scoring close to the top of our chart in the Arithmetic test. System memory bandwidth is excellent also, scoring around 20GB/s.

  1. nice system, decent price. seen a simllar spec on Dell for around £500 more. I thought those bigger companies were meant to get better deals!

  2. Clevo are an acquired taste. they are bulky and not that pretty, but they are well built and last a long time. I have had one for years, I agree though, the keyboard is crap.

  3. Heat is the biggest problem with these machines, but this one looks good internally. its a step up from the last high end 17 inch unit I had, it had only one fan and it just had to work too hard. I had to clean it out every 2 months. something I should point out, is this unit is very easy to maintain by looking at the placements. a good airduster every 3 months and it would be fine.

    Good product, a company ive been watching now for a while. good builds.

  4. Wow thats a hell of a machine. good spec for the price too. cheaper than my alienware whic isn’t as fast 🙁

    ill ceck out their website.

  5. where i can buy this laptop?
