Pros and Cons of Sager NP8358F2

Pros
  • The GPU is a 2070 Super. Most laptop GPUs in this price range not only are the non SUPER version but they’re also almost always the MAX-Q version which is a weaker, more constrained version.
  • The keyboard feels excellent.
  • The design is sleek and doesn’t look like a spaceship (except for maybe the back vents).
  • The software allows control of the fans which allows you to set an aggressive fan curve for better thermals or quiet for office work.
  • The software also allows GPU overclocking and the CPU can be undervolted with Throttlestop.
  • No Sager bloatware.
  • Very good temps, no CPU or GPU throttling.
  • Excellent upgradeability: 1x 2.5″ SATA port, 2x M.2 SSD ports, 2x RAM slots.
  • Indicator lights for power, battery, caps/scroll/num lock, and even HDD/SDD activity.
  • Matte 144hz display.
  • 4.3 Ratings on Amazon.
Cons
  • Noticeable coil whine noise under certain circumstances.
  • No thunderbolt 3 and no DisplayPort ports.
  • Although fan speed control allows for very quiet fans, it only lets you set fans at 20% minimum, you can’t turn them off completely.
  • Fan speed control software doesn’t remember the last active profile for each of the performance profiles whenever you switch. So if you have a custom fan curve, if you go from performance to quiet, you have to select the custom fan curve again.
  • The bottom cover has a lot of plastic clips you need to remove without breaking in order to upgrade any parts.
  • Keyboard has a Numpad. This is subjective, but I’d prefer a non-Numpad keyboard so that I don’t have to place my hand off-centre whenever I type.

FAQ


Is this a max-p 2070 super?

This is full speed 2070 super, not Max-Q.

Faster Websites 2023

Can I easily upgrade the ram and hard drive?

f you remove the 2 screws for the battery then remove all the other screws on the bottom you can use the battery area to grab a hold and slowly/carefully pry off the bottom plastic from the main part (it split where the metal and the plastic meet. Once I added my SSD drive I just popped everything back in place and put the screws back in. No damage and everything was super easy to put back into place. It took more force to pop the the plastic on the rear of the laptop. If you haven’t done this before I recommend you do some research as you don’t want to crack any of the plastic.

Can we Edit 4k video?

Yes, but it is better to edit on a external 4K display.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while most other manufacturers are obsessed with solder components, making them non-upgradeable, limiting performance and thermals to make them thinner, lighter, and have longer battery life, Sager and Clevo focuses on what users like me care about, performance, thermals, upgradability, ports, did I mention this laptop even has an HDD/SSD indicator light?

If you find these things exciting, I heartily recommend that you take a look at this and other Sager models.
