Our NP5852 review will instead focus on performance and how it compares to other mainstream 15.6-inch gaming notebooks with the GTX 1050 and older Maxwell GPUs.Īs mentioned on our Sabre 15 page, the chassis design is smaller and more angular than the clunky Clevo barebones we've come to known in the past. We recommend checking out our existing review on the Sabre 15 for more information on the hardware and its features. Otherwise, everything from the 1080p IPS display, chassis quality, and keyboard remain identical.
A quick glance at its Clevo chassis reveals that it is essentially identical to the costlier Gigabyte Sabre 15 with very small adjustments to battery capacity, thickness, and port selection. The 15.6-inch Sager NP5852 is one of the first to pair the MX150 GPU with the Core i7-7700HQ CPU and is aimed at entry-level gamers for a base price of $800 USD (or about $950 as configured). It effectively replaces the aging GeForce 940MX that is still shipping on several new Ultrabooks and multimedia notebooks today. Called the GeForce MX150, the new GPU is essentially a GT 1030 as both share the same 64-bit memory bus, 384 CUDA cores, and even a base clock rate of 1468 MHz. Nvidia Pascal became widely available for notebooks in mid-2016 and it wasn't until a full year later that a proper entry-level Pascal GPU would begin shipping to customers.
