Cizmo's CX1730M gaming laptop packs a wallop

Okay, so maybe Cizmo's CX1730M is based heavily on Clevo's M570TU, but it's still one beast of a machine. This 17-inch monster packs a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, a 160GB SATA hard drive, WSXGA+ panel, a 2-megapixel webcam, dual-layer DVD burner (or optional Blu-ray drive), NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce 8800M GTX and a plethora of ports. Amazingly, this one tips the scales at "just" 8.7-pounds, which actually isn't half bad for a unit this potent. Additionally, it looks as if you can order this puppy in a variety of hues -- including the above pictured camouflage -- right now starting at €1,427 ($2,249).

Damn this is gonna get lost in my camo room, with camo bed sheets and camo motif on all objects, then how am i gonna play on my gaming laptop?

[bohsocks @ Jun 29th 2008 12:08PM]

Will the camo also mask the shame that I'll have for owning a camo laptop?

[weg @ Jun 29th 2008 6:40PM]

Well, the camouflaged design makes sense, who'd like to be seen with such an ugly laptop?

[Teo @ Jun 29th 2008 11:14AM]

Neat, but when are you guys gonna post a picture of it?

[spook4thecia @ Jun 29th 2008 3:08PM]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Reader @ Jun 29th 2008 11:16PM]

Oh man, reminds me of the entire comment section of the article o nthat camouflaged external HDD.

[DefPo3t @ Jun 29th 2008 11:22AM]

but does it come in the winter/aqua/desert camo colors is what is important

[DefPo3t @ Jun 29th 2008 11:26AM]

€ 249.00 for any color/design you want isnt half bad at least they give you an option

[JohnTitor @ Jun 29th 2008 7:25PM]

it should have been desert default
whoever picked the jungle colors forgot we are stuck in Iraq instead of Vietnam

[JohnTitor @ Jun 29th 2008 7:26PM]

by the way everyone, its yet another Clevo

[Shawn @ Jun 29th 2008 11:22AM]

laptop gaming is my fav, but you don't need to spend this much. A gateway 6860fx comes with a nice 8800M GTS, all that ya have to do is upgrade the processor. Threw in a T9300 (200usd) in mine for a total of 1500usd and it runs everything on high, including that pig Crysis.

awesome skin though

[Michael Goldberg @ Jun 29th 2008 11:30AM]

No one will see me using this in the weeds

[Michael Goldberg @ Jun 29th 2008 11:31AM]

No one will see me using this in the weeds!

[DefPo3t @ Jun 29th 2008 1:07PM]

everyone sees you being impatience

[Pochi @ Jun 29th 2008 1:20PM]

@DefPo3t

your mass engrish comments make me lol

[DefPo3t @ Jun 29th 2008 1:27PM]

np comes natually i really should read my comments before clicking send but then i wouldnt have any personallity @(*^*)@

[phanbouy @ Jun 29th 2008 1:42PM]

you can put your weed in there!

[Rick @ Jun 29th 2008 11:47AM]

This a gaming laptop or a gamey laptop?

[Sy @ Jun 29th 2008 12:01PM]

Why the camouflage. The Delta Force do serious gaming while doing reconnaissance?

[Steffen Jobbs @ Jun 29th 2008 12:07PM]

So fugly, it's painful to look at. At least it has some nice specs and the price ain't bad at all.

[KingPin @ Jun 29th 2008 12:08PM]

o.O this is just plain pricey..... gateway dell do the same for much less....

[David @ Jun 29th 2008 1:14PM]

gateway does not, it uses a less powerful card
dell does similar, for similar price, but its a couple of lbs heavier.

At any rate gateway doesn't sell in europe, so we don't have that option.

[rocky_rules @ Jun 29th 2008 12:38PM]

now soldiers in iraq can play in the combat zone.. :-)

[phanbouy @ Jun 29th 2008 12:54PM]

wtf?

[waterboy99troop @ Jun 29th 2008 5:35PM]

i'm assuming you mean canadian soldiers...

[waterboy99troop @ Jun 29th 2008 5:36PM]

...although i know they're not in iraq...

[Mobius_1 @ Jun 29th 2008 12:49PM]

So does the camo automatically make this laptop rugged and military and powerful and cool? Get a life

[substance90 @ Jun 29th 2008 1:12PM]

Simply ugly as hell!

[Elijah Bailey @ Jun 29th 2008 1:27PM]

Interesting.

I'm not much into laptop gaming but this seems a nice deal. As said earlier, a bit pricey but for the fact that it's available in more places makes it a bit lighter for the ones picking as their next system. Camo is only a gimmick, but having makes you one unique stylish and design-induced gamer (who, in many usually, would more be of the somewhat-geeky PC gaming community type).

[Adam @ Jun 29th 2008 1:37PM]

But can it hack a Gibson?

[Bunson @ Jun 29th 2008 1:59PM]

At least your somewhat original... now you need to work on the part about being funny.

[Hellios @ Jun 29th 2008 1:38PM]

I can't believe a ton of other gaming laptops don't come in camo as well.

[(01) @ Jun 29th 2008 1:41PM]

I feel like I'd want at least another GB of RAM in there; probably 2.

[ethana2 @ Jun 30th 2008 3:22AM]

Because we all know with consoles shipping 512 MB of RAM and less that memory is a real killer for gaming!

Pssh. Just ordered my new ubuntu dell, 1 GB of RAM-- I simply have no use for anything more. 2+ GB of RAM is ridiculous overkill.

[nintendo fanboy hater @ Jun 29th 2008 2:09PM]

i have to say it... dont flame me, for i am not clak. a macbook pro is the same price, has a faster processor and more hard drive space... i guess this is not a gaming laptop then

[Sarig @ Jun 29th 2008 4:11PM]

When they say gaming laptop, they mean you can use it when hunting game! Can't do that with macbooks, they're far too shiny. Yep, only logical explanation

[David @ Jun 29th 2008 4:19PM]

macbook pro 17" starts at £1799 in uk, thats $3600 or 2300 euros.

also macbook pro has older processers, so higher frequency may not mean better

+ yeah, the mac only packs an 8600m gt

[Kizorblade @ Jun 29th 2008 6:06PM]

PFFT. Stupid people... Macs are ideal for hunting! Especially the Macbook. You can use it as a mirror to blind that poor deer or gamer with a camo laptop then break his/her neck with your BARE HANDS.

[H0rK @ Jun 29th 2008 4:46PM]

i see from the pic that it CAN play crysis...

[Joe Anstine @ Jun 29th 2008 5:43PM]

cool, now I can take my laptop gaming experience while hunting
(that's in r.l. folks)
....
not

[Mike @ Jun 29th 2008 10:24PM]

At least it isn't in ACU

[Blindhouse @ Jun 29th 2008 10:29PM]

I'm waiting for the stealth model

[Kris @ Jun 30th 2008 4:32AM]

Imagine how annoyed the rich n00b will get when he realises that it doesn't actually make him more stealthy in Crysis.

[Kozzi @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:51AM]

Now you can even game during war.
