Buying a gaming laptop to play amazing games with your friends has become one of the best pastimes post-Covid. However, while everyone wants pricier laptops from big brands like Razer, Dell Alienware, Razer, Asus, and more, some other companies have entered the market too. One such laptop is the Clevo NH70.

Sporting its spotlight 4k 17.3” screen and RGB keyboard, it looks great. Powered with a 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and 4GB NVIDIA graphics  card, gamers will want to know more about this laptop. Therefore, learn about this laptop review by reading till the end.

Clevo NH70 Specifications

Then primary specifications of the Clevo NH70 are:

Clevo NH70 Review

After getting this laptop, I decided to tinker around with it for a week and figure out its worth. Therefore, here’s what I have to say in my Clevo NH70 Review 2023:

1. Design & Display

Coming to its design, the Clevo NH70 has a pretty simple and minimalistic look. There is nothing flashy about this laptop at all. Following a very minimalistic design (which I prefer), this laptop looks good enough. Its RGB keyboard has a very compact design which looks well with the overall minimalistic look of this laptop. It’s a bit thick on the bottom, with thin bezels surrounding the screen on top. Its thick bottom makes it a bit heavier than other laptops, weighing 4.8 lbs (2.5 kg).

When it comes to the screen, it’s not as good as other laptops on the market with 4K screens. After playing quite a few movies and games, I felt the qualitative difference in the screen compared to other laptops. The edges of the look often appear smudged, which should not happen considering it’s a big 17.3” 4k screen. I recommend using this Clevo laptop at 1080p resolution for the best look and to save power as well.

2. Keyboard & Touchpad

The Clevo NH70 has an RGB backlit keyboard that is very pleasing to look at. However, unlike other gaming laptops, this laptop lacks dedicated drivers for changing the RGB color patterns. Therefore, this has a single zone RGB color, which cannot be changed much. Only a few patterns are available, which can be toggled with a few key presses. Plus, one look at this laptop, and you know it’s meant for gaming since it has thicker WASD keys.

The touchpad is pretty standard fare. There’s nothing special about it. It’s pretty smooth and responsive, just like every other laptop out there. However, I mostly used a mouse because I prefer using them more than trackpads.

3. Cooling & Battery

When it comes to cooling this laptop, I will say Clevo has done a good job. This laptop has powerful fans underneath the keyboard, which makes all things cool and quiet during long gaming sessions. Also, the heat vents are at the sides, which makes dissipating heat more efficient.

However, my biggest complaint comes with the battery of this laptop. Under normal gaming sessions, it lasted 3.5 hours unplugged. If you are watching movies or surfing the web, then this will go up to 5 to 6 hours. This is below average compared to most gaming laptops in the market. 

4. Benchmarks & Performance

Playing various graphically intensive games to measure the performance of a computer is the best way to do so. Therefore, here are the Clevo NH70 benchmark gaming tests and the FPS that I have experienced:

As you can see from the table above, the Clevo NH70 fails to reach 60 fps on most modern games at Ultra Settings. However, you will be fine if you play only multiplayer games. If you are a competitive Valorant player and want to become the next Tenz, then I recommend turning all settings to low to get around 100 fps. Coming to single-player games, you should do the same to reach the 60fps mark. 

The combination of 8GB RAM, 9th Gen Intel Core i7 9750H, and the GTX 1650 artists will be fine. If you use more professional and creative apps like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Blend, Cinema 4D, etc, then these apps will run pretty smoothly. Plus, the 17.3” screen makes it all better, in my opinion. However, I did notice some lag when editing 4k videos with Adobe Premiere Pro.

Clevo NH70 Alternatives

Apart from buying the Clevo NH70 gaming laptop, here are some other alternatives you can have a look at:

1. Asus 2-In-1 Q535

Here’s what I had to say about this laptop in my Asus 2-in-1 Q535 review:

“The Asus 2-in-1 Q535 is a respectable touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop from Asus. When utilizing graphically demanding productivity programs, it performs below average. However, due to its subpar graphics card, it is not intended for gaming.

However, its poor graphics card and battery let it down in the end. Moreover, its $1,998 price tag was the source of my greatest disappointment. This is just too much to expect for such requirements, in my opinion.”

2. Macbook 12in M7

If you love Apple products, you can try this laptop out. Here’s what I had to say about this laptop in my Macbook 12in M7 review:

“In my opinion, you can buy this MacBook 12in M7 if you can find a refurbished one in stores or on eBay. From its performance and looks, it will provide the same experience you expect from a MacBook. 

However, I would still noy recommend buying this laptop if you can spend more. The first reason is that it’s unavailable in any stores, and you will need to look for used models. Secondly, it’s pretty old, with better MacBooks available on the market (although a lot pricier). Also, many Windows laptops will beat this one in performance-to-price comparison sans a higher-quality display and battery. Additionally, gamers should stay away from this MacBook.”

Final Verdict: Is The Clevo NH70 Worth Buying In 2023?

In my opinion, no.

The Clevo NH70 is a decent laptop for its price. It provides good enough performance if you wish to do productive and creative work.
