14 DAY TRIAL // HP has a slew of laptops out there, dedicated for the business crowd and the average consumer, but one area which hasn't yet been penetrated by the tech giant is the gaming ecosystem.
But this space won’t be terra incognita for long, because according to a new tip provided by @evleaks, HP is gearing up to launch a gaming laptop that aims to compete with Dell’s Alienware lineup.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the device will come equipped with an Intel Core i7-4712 MQ CPU and boasting one of NVIDIA’s latest GeForce GTX 860M graphic cards.
So far, details about the device have been quite scarce, but I can also tell you that the speakers will run up sides of the keyboard and there’s going to be configurable lighting controlled by built-in software.
The leak mentions HP should be ready to launch the product on the market this fall and if priced right it could stand a chance at stirring customers away from the Alienware bunch.
A few months ago, Dell updated the Alienware 17-inch and 18-inch models, adding NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M / 860M and Radeon R9 M290X GPU options. The gaming notebooks also bring about Intel Core “Haswell” i7 processor, 1080p displays, up to 32GB of RAM memory and traditional drives plus optional mSATA solid state storage.
