Evesham unveils the Zieo NX600-HDX Core 2 Extreme laptop

It's just been a few months since Evesham introduced the Zieo N6 series, but it's already revving the top of the line -- say hello to the NX600-HDX, which is just the second laptop we've seen to feature the X7900 Core 2 Extreme processor. Apart from that 2.8GHz C2E chip, a bump to 4GB of RAM, and Vista Ultimate, the HDX is pretty much the same as the other N6 machines: 17-inch screen, 512MB NVIDIA 8700M GT graphics, 200GB disk, and a 2-hour battery life. Of course, 8.9 pounds of power is going to cost you -- Evesham is listing the HDX at a staggering £1899 ($3884).

Why is the photograph backwards?

[smcquade Posted Nov 15th 2007 6:58PM]

that's how it comes: it's for lefties!

Or because it's British, obviously they do everything backwards, I even hear that they drive on the wrong side of the road.

But seriously, I think that they were just screwing around with the picture and thought it would be funny to make fun of British people.

I suppose its for Visual Balance. Photography subject.

[Willstay Posted Nov 27th 2007 11:00PM]

Its because they wanted to make sure people simply play games on this latptop other than browse, chat or write emails from it.

Will it run Where In The USA is Carmen San Diego?

[inkmaster Posted Nov 15th 2007 7:35PM]

Of course- it will also play Doom pretty nicely, thought the frame rates will probably drop a bit while blending.

Oh that's nothing, you should try and afford a Macbook Pro

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2007 7:19PM]

What are you talking about?

Every standard Macbook Pro is cheaper than that :

[Albino Digits Posted Nov 15th 2007 7:47PM]

This is just a rebranded Clevo M570RU, which has been out for months. Get a Sager NP5791. It's the same notebook.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2007 8:38PM]

Yeah, but Sager will not put an Extreme(x7900) processor in it.

[Albino Digits Posted Nov 15th 2007 8:49PM]

That's true. Is it worth $1500+ though?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2007 9:02PM]

No Extreme processor is worth the money, you won't notice the difference between the Extreme edition and the processor directly under it that is marketed by Intel; and for desktops, you can just OC it to extreme speeds anyways.

personally i dont see the point in buying a gaming laptop. if you wanna play high end games, build (or buy if you have to) a desktop. what happens when you need to upgrade the video card in your lappy? you go buy a new $4000 laptop or buy just a card for your desktop for less than a tenth of that.

which reminds me: is Engadget gonna review the new ATI HD3800 series? or did they already do it and i missed it.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 16th 2007 3:14AM]

maybe someone who would like to play games on the go, ever think of that? engadget isnt a review site, it's a blog btw

[jbond Posted Nov 16th 2007 5:07AM]

Didn't Evesham go bust?
