Evesham intros 17-inch Zieo NX600-HD laptop

Shortly after unveiling the Zieo N500-HD, Evesham is hitting back with a slightly more updated version for those lusting after a few more frames-per-second. The 17-inch Zieo NX600-HD looks to be aimed squarely at gamers, as the available 2.4GHz T7700 Core 2 Duo and 512MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 8700M GT provide all the FPS horsepower you'll (currently) need. Also packed within is a WUXGA panel, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, dual-layer DVD burner, a 56k modem, up to 250GB of SATA hard drive space, eight-cell Li-ion battery, 802.11a/b/g/n support, integrated multicard reader, built-in stereo speakers, gigabit Ethernet, and a smattering of ports including FireWire, USB 2.0, DVI, TV out, and an ExpressCard slot for good measure. Of course, such a well endowed machine won't come cheap (nor lightly), as this 8.7-pound beast will run you £1,399 ($2,813) before any of the highly desirable upgrades.

ah yes, just another Overpriced Clevo
this like it's the M570, all though I've always seen it with a 7950GTX, the 8700M GT is newer most slower
so it definately should below $2000 after good configuration
although that's based on what I've seen in the U.S.

Yeah, it's reasonably priced for the UK but with our shitty exchange rate I don't think any Americans will be buying anytime soon.

I really like the reversed photo.

Either that, or it's a new version for lefties who read backwards and type in reverse.

I think it's funny they would use Battlefield 2142 for a demo picture when that game doesn't even support true widescreen gaming.

Why do computers, particularly laptops, still come with phone jacks? Who the heck still uses 56k? They should just cease production of the obsolete technology. Besides, regardless of just how cheap it is, it IS a component that has to be accommodated. Without it, I am sure laptops will have five more minutes of battery and weigh one less gram. And one less odd of something getting inside.

Clevo laptops are overpriced. I had the D870P and it was an artifacting machine. No one on the Notebook forums had one that DIDN'T artifact. They should have recalled those pieces of junk.
