14 DAY TRIAL // Following the much-hyped launch of Alienware's 'All Powerful' M17x laptop, it looks like another PC vendor has come up with a high-performance portable computer system designed to provide users with the ultimate gaming experience. MAINGEAR, a company that specializes in providing its customers with custom-built computer systems, has just announced the introduction of its new eX-L 18 notebook PC, claiming it to be the world's most powerful gaming notebook. As you can imagine, this system is also built using three NVIDIA GeForce graphics chips, combined with Intel's high-end Core 2 mobile processors, as well as dual-channel DDR3 memory.
“With the increasing demand for mobile high performance computing solutions, we wanted to offer our customers with the most powerful gaming desktop replacement possible” said Wallace Santos, CEO and founder of MAINGEAR. “With the co-processing power of the Intel Core 2 CPU and dual NVIDIA GPUs, you’re able to get the same cutting edge technology available to desktop users in a balanced computing configuration that is ideal for today's GPU computing environment.”
