In a market obsessed with slim, lightweight, energy-efficient machines, gaming laptops stick out like a sore thumb. Hulking 17- and 18-inch chassis dominate the category like a physical representation of a tired cliché: bigger is better. In some ways, the old phrase rings true – these oversized machines often pack the latest and greatest components – but any hope of reasonable portability is lost in the mass.
Despite this overwhelming (and oversized) majority, a handful of small-frame rigs still make it to market each year, and one of 2013’s most petite just happens to have landed on our reviews desk. Meet the Clevo W230ST, a 13-inch, ODM (original device manufacturer) gaming notebook destined to be rebadged under different brands. As such, it goes by many names – Sager, Origin PC and AVADirect each have their own take – but today, we’re looking at Digital Storm’s version, the Veloce. Can this diminutive monster keep up with the category’s biggest beasts? Let’s find out.Gallery: Digital Storm Veloce review
