Can't you just return it in store ? You should be able to

Windows update doesn't give you the drivers ?

Purchased online, not a stocked item in store...not sure what the return policy is atm.

Btw, the "Turbo" overclock function has never worked regardless of OS, Speedstep enabled or disabled. I agree that with the hardware in this laptop it should be a performer, but it is hamstrung by the buggy OS, inability to refresh drivers and poor software support.

If I consider another laptop in the future it will likely not be a stock model. I would like to see some bios screens of a Clevo model and personally talk to someone from a vendor such as Xotic PC before buying anything else. They offer all OS combinations including a "no OS" option, so they clearly have their units sorted out when it comes to driver compatibility.

EDIT: Just went online to find the return policy and found it conflicting. All info points to no problem by mail, but when I tried to submit a request it kept coming up "item not eligible for return" lol. I seriously doubt that...sent them an email for advice and awaiting reply.

Finally managed to get 3DMarkVantage to run in Win 8 without glitching. Still no Turbo cpu and MSI video card overclocking utility refuses to open. I have removed all data and this one is going back in the box...leaving my home one way or another.

Hope it works out, too much cash to throw away for sure
