PC manufacturer MAINGEAR has just announced its brand new Pulse 17 gaming notebook. And it’s not just your average laptop, as the company boasts that it’s the world’s thinnest 17-inch laptop aimed at gamers.

MAINGEAR aims to stand out from plethora of gaming notebooks available on the market by offering a mobile and customizable experience to suit the needs of any gamer out there.

MAINGEAR CEO, Wallace Santos, commented on the event:

“The launch of the Pulse 18 is the perfect thin and light gaming PC in a 17” compact form factor. We love the sleekness, performance and quality of this notebook and are very proud to be able to offer this to our customers.”

For starters, the notebook is extremely light, weighing around 6 pounds / 2.72 kg, which means that users can take it anywhere with them, reports TechPowerUp.

The most recent games can smoothly run on the device, as MAINGEAR has added an Intel CoreTM i7 4700HQ under the hood. Its limits can be stretched by increasing it from 2.4GHz to 3.4 GHz with the Intel Turbo Boost 2.0.

In the graphics department, the manufacturing company offers Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M coupled with 2GB of video memory that provides amazing and life-like visuals.

As audio is an important part of the gaming experience, MAINGEAR has made sure the notebook comes featuring built-in subwoofer and surround speakers powered by Sound Blaster Cinema.

For those who are not easily satisfied, they should know that they can minimize load-time with RAID 0 Solid State hard drive array.

The Killer Doubleshot network optimization over wired and wireless Ethernet provides up to 5x improved latency.

Even with these powerful specifications, MAINGEAR says the Pulse 17 will not strain or overheat due to its super-efficient dual-fan thermal cooling solution.

The Pulse 17 not only delivers in terms of functionality and performance, but it’s a real looker as well. It comes with a stylish aluminum shell and bundles a backlit keyboard with a full range of color options. MAINGEAR offers three different design choices featuring M.A.R.C laser engravings.
