That $200 increase is totally worth it for a change

Looks like another Clevo to me.

Still pushing out old stock SATA-II 5400rpm 1TB HDDs? It's quite possibly a Toshiba PH-2100U-1|54 / MQ01ABD100.

If laptop makers are going to continue to offer mechanical storage, I wish they would drop these old SATA-II drives in favor of HGST's 7K1000 7200rpm 1TB SATA-III (6Gb/s) HDD. I've compared these two specific drives and found the HGST to be nearly twice as fast as the Toshiba, overall.

Honestly I don't like these drives either. Less because of the RPM or SATA-II standard, and more because it only has 8 MB of cache. I've had several modern HDDs that run at 5400 RPM SATA-II or SATA-III and they work fast enough for most tasks, but I've only had one modern HDD with 8 MB of cache and it often lagged while browsing folders. SATA-II is kind of silly today, with how long SATA-III has been out, but I'd put that off as a lesser issue compared to the cache.

Sure does. I have one. I sold it because even though it had the power, the material quality was crap. That trackpad will wear out in 6 months of using it and you'll end up with a giant blotch in the center. This usually happens with Matte coated material like the logitech G7. That plastic casing will will also develop weird stains that won't come up.

I live in Wichita where this company is located. Had quite a few friends work there over the years since the IT community is quite small here. This is an absolutely awful company. All the gear is extremely over-priced. They are also pretty brutal on their employees since they mainly hire entry level ($9.50-11.00/h) people.

1 friend was let go for asking for a raise (worked there for 2 years)
Another was let go for asking for some time off for his wife's baby was born (1099 worker, contract canceled)

For what it is worth and the last I have heard, they are still assembling their "Servers" with Jetway components....
