Gamers who couldn’t stop themselves from yelping after having spanned through the updated feature list for Maingear’s eX- L 15 gaming laptop revealed this April, might just want to exclaim again. Only this time the bellow could be louder. Maingear debuts its latest powerful machine in the form of the eX-L 17 notebook. In the company’s own words, it houses ‘the most powerful components ever assembled into a 17-inch notebook.’
Claiming to be an intelligent combo of function and form factor, the device includes built-in biometrics security through fingerprint reader for security. Touch sensitive hotkeys allow execution of customizable macros and applications. Users can take their pick from five different Maingear M.A.R.C. laser engravings for a neat and elegant fabrication. Gamers can look forward to desktop like robustness even when on the move. As for creative professionals, the mean-machine should work efficiently on site without affecting the productivity.
“The launch of the eX-L 17 reiterates the passion and commitment we have for our customers: choice.” commented Wallace Santos, CEO and Founder of Maingear. “With the multitude of options available on this notebook, we are offering the performance and quality of our outstanding desktops in the convenience of mobility.”
“Maingear’s eX-L17 notebook goes hand in hand with Intel’s Core i7 mobile processor and Intel Turbo Boost technology,” further added Greg Baur, Director of Sales, CESG East, Intel Americas Inc. “Maingear understands users that need accelerated performance for demanding applications prefer the Intel Core 2010 processor family, and we’re pleased to provide Maingear as well as their customers with this solid solution.”
The notebook should deliver crisp videos thanks to the inclusion of Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M, Nvidia Quadro FX 2800M and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 video cards. In combination with the 17.3″ Full HD 1920 x 1080 – (1080p) widescreen LED backlit display having a 16:9 aspect ratio, playing graphic-intensive games should be a one-of-a-kind-experience.

In addition to this, the laptop also packs in up to 2X Blu-ray reader/8x multi combo (BD-R, DVD+-RW, CD-RW) optical drive. Its option of 512GB SSD or 750GB 5400RPM SATA 2.5 hard drive we’re sure won’t disappoint hoarders.
