Gaming laptops – high performance mobile computers made for playing hardware demanding games. These usually feature quad-core processors, dedicated video cards by AMD and Nvidia with more than 1GB VRAM, and large displays, although there are some exceptions such as the 11.6″ Alienware M11x. Some well known gaming notebook series are Asus G Series, Dell’s Alienware, MSI G Series, and Toshiba Qosmio. Also, boutique computer sellers, such as Sager, CyberPower PC, iBuyPower, or Velocity Micro, also offer mobile gaming rigs. In the most cases their customizable models are based on Clevo designs.
Clevo P270WM
The “fastest desktop replacement in the world” supports desktop-use Intel Core CPUs, up to the six-core i7-3960X with a maximal 3.8GHz clock speed in Turbo Boost mode. The CPUs on this laptop are overclockable and are paired with single or dual mobile Nvidia GeForce GTX 580M. The Clevo P270WM supports up to 32GB of RAM and has three storage bays for HDDs or SSDs. Display size is 17.3″ and the resolution is full HD. The basic price is $3,122.
This is the Razer Blade.
The first wave of available Razer Blade units has been sold out within 30 minutes, according to the company’s post on Facebook.
Razer didn’t reveal how many units they sold, but they said that the company is working hard to meet the demand and get the notebook back in stock by mid February.
Like many computer-related sites, we’ve missed to report about the new Asus G5 Republic of Gamers (ROG) series gaming laptops which will be called the Asus G75 and G55 if they don’t digress from the naming scheme.
The 17.3″ Asus G75 and 15.6″ Asus G55 were captured in two separate videos at 2012 CES. Both notebooks will come with the Intel Ivy Bridge processors, officially called 3rd Generation Intel Core, and Nvidia’s next-gen GeForce “Kepler” gaming-class GPUs. It’s not exactly known which GeForce video card models will be used in the G75 and G55. The current G-series Asus laptops don’t come with the top-of-the-line Nvidia GTX 580M, so there’s a possibility that the G75/G55 won’t include the most powerful GPU option from the upcoming GeForce lineup either. (Note: If we understood the translation of a ComputerBase.de article correctly, the laptops will come with the GeForce GTX 670M.)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, and Batman: Arkham City are currently among the most popular 3D game titles for PCs.
