Maingear Super 16
Boutique (Clevo-based)
A US-boutique Clevo barebone dressed up by Maingear: Core Ultra 9 275HX, a 140 W RTX 5070 Ti and a 300 Hz QHD+ panel from around $2,299. PCWorld's "power with caveats" verdict confirms the Clevo chassis — which Maingear doesn't disclose in marketing — and noted the as-reviewed price climbs with upgrades. Capable hardware, but you are paying a boutique premium over the underlying ODM design.

- Wi-Fi 7 + Gen 5 SSD
