14 DAY TRIAL // Although Nvidia's Fermi architecture has reached the laptop market quite some time ago it is never to late to release a new Fermi-based notebook, Muse Computers of Japan just announcing they are introducing a new gaming laptop based on the GTX 460M GPU.
As its usually the case with such gaming notebooks, the new m-Book P line will come with top of the line hardware, Muse going for Core i5 and Core i7 mobile processors as well as a maximum 8GB of RAM.
The three CPU options available are the Intel Core i5-560M, Intel Core i7-740QM and the Core i7-840QM, the latest coming with 8MB L3 Cache and a 1.86GHz base frequency that can go as high as 3.20GHz when Turbo Boost kicks in.
On th storage side of things, a 500Gb hard drive comes as standard, although users can opt for a roomier drive or a SSD, if they so desire.
Whatever route you may decide to take, all the solutions come with GeForce GTX 460M graphics with 1536MB of dedicated video buffer memory as well as with a high-res 15.6 inch display that has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.
