Build Quality and Looks

The first thing we noticed about the Clevo PA71 is that its build quality is top-notch. It is made of a combination of plastic and aluminum, with the lid made of aluminum. The laptop’s hinge is sturdy and doesn’t wobble when you open and close the laptop.

The laptop also has rubber feet on the bottom to prevent it from sliding around your desk or lap. The laptop’s speakers are located on the bottom, so the sound is a bit muffled, but there is a “Treble Boost” mode that you can activate in the sound settings to make the audio a bit louder and more precise.

The weight of the laptop is distributed well. It doesn’t feel too heavy when you pick it up. You can easily carry it around wherever you go. The laptop’s chassis has a hexagonal pattern carved into it, which makes the laptop look nice and stand out from the crowd.

Keyboard and Trackpad

The Clevo PA71 comes with a SteelSeries keyboard with RGB backlighting and SteelSeries Engine 3 software that can customize the keyboard’s lighting. The keyboard has excellent tactile feedback and is comfortable to type on.

The laptop’s trackpad is large and has a smooth tracking surface. You can use two fingers to navigate menus and apps, and there’s also a physical click button in the center for clicking and selecting options. The laptop also has a fingerprint sensor for logging into your computer and online purchases with Windows Hello.

Screen and Audio Quality

The Clevo PA71 has a Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS display, producing nice and rich colors and decent brightness levels. The screen also has a wide viewing angle, so you can easily share your laptop with a couple of friends on a couch or bed.

The laptop’s speakers are on the bottom and produce average sound quality, but the “Treble Boost” mode helps the audio get a bit louder and clearer. The laptop also has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can use headphones.

Clevo PA71 Gaming Performance

The Clevo PA71 is a great gaming laptop that can run various games on high graphics without any issues. We tested the laptop with a few games like Fortnite, PUBG, GTA V, and Bioshock, and they all ran smoothly without any stuttering or frame drops.

Fortnite, PUBG, and GTA V are optimized for Intel’s Hexa-core processors. You can play them at the High graphics settings. The laptop can also be overclocked to improve its gaming performance by pressing and holding the “Fn” and the “G” keys. To revert it to normal, do the same thing but press the “Fn” and “C” keys instead.

Final Words

The Clevo PA71 is a well-built laptop that is great for gaming. The laptop’s hexagonal design and RGB keyboard look great and distinguish it from other boring and non-descript gaming laptops in this price range.

The laptop is also relatively lightweight and easy to carry around. If you’re looking for a great gaming laptop in this price range, the Clevo PA71 is a great option to consider.
