While MainGear is best-known for manufacturing some of the most advanced gaming solutions out there, the company seems to be willing to expand its area of interest, since it has just outed a couple of notebooks that target not gamers, but road-warriors and students, namely the Clutch-13 and Clutch-15 models.

As the manufacturer informs us, the MAINGEAR Clutch-13 and Clutch-15 are equipped with Intel Core i series mobile processors, up to 8GB of DDR3-1066 memory, a 512GB SSD HDD, along with an optional docking station that features extra connectivity such as VGA, DVI, RJ-45, audio out, USB 2.0 x 4 ports and optional optical disc drives including Blu-ray.

The MAINGEAR Clutch-15 not only offers a 15.6- inch screen (1366 x 768 pixels resolution) that is thinner and lighter than average notebooks out in the market and featuring a full size keyboard with a numeric pad, it also features an additional choice of Intel Core i7 mobile processor, and an Nvidia GeForce 330M for those who are looking to stay connected while enjoying high definition media but also want to get some work done in-between meetings or class.

The Clutch-13 and Clutch-15 integrates Intel’s Always Aware technology, which utilizes the system accelerometer to provide hard drive protection, system security and display control.

Moreover, Intel’s Anti-Theft technology is another added feature which provides a complete lockdown when the system has multiple failed login attempts or when reported lost or stolen, and Intel My WiFi Technology converts the notebook into a Wi-Fi Personal Area Network quickly and easily.

“The MAINGEAR Clutch-13 and Clutch-15 are the perfect notebooks for those who want portable productivity with the power of a desktop.” said Wallace Santos, CEO and Founder of MAINGEAR“.

Pricing for the Maingear Clutch-13 notebook starts somewhere in the vicinity of 1,099 US dollars, while the Clutch-15 is slightly more affordable, starting from around 899 US dollars (of course, these are only basic versions, so adding extra options will certainly push pricing to a whole new level).
