iBuyPower still isn't offering many details about its new Battalion Touch CZ-10 gaming laptop, but it has produced that image above, which we're pretty sure tells you everything you need to know. Namely, that it's a touch screen gaming laptop (15-inch), and that it has more flames and fangs than your non-Battalion laptop. More details are promised to be coming at CES, but considering this is iBuyPower you can pretty safely bet that it'll be plenty customizable, and it should be available sometime "in the coming months.
i need more info...
So it's like a Chinese version of all the Lenovo computers released today? Oh......
@TSIG
no
@TSIG
Were you being sarcastic? Cause Lenovo is Chinese owned
I said this before and I'll say it again.
ThunderCats Ho!
@Khalid Shahin No you got it wrong.
It's "man I love being a turtle!!" LOL
it's sad to think that there's a market for these paintjobs.. what kind of person doesn't think that they're tacky?
@safe travels
I'm guessing about half of the engadget audience...namely 8 year olds
Fuck iBuyPower. Their products are cheap crap. And their paint jobs are beyond tacky and ricer.
@Solidstate89 After doing a "bit" of research, I found your comment to be true.
I saw this article, looked up IBuyPower, and came here to look at the "5" comments knowing someone is gonna say something like this.
I'd stay away from them as well.
@Solidstate89 yup. ibp is one of the worst companies i've ever seen/done business with. they are the reason i started to build computers personally many years ago. they are the most corrupt dumb stupid mofos i've ever met. good luck even calling customer service for an RMA. what a joke!
@Solidstate89 "Fuck iBuyPower. Their products are cheap crap. And their paint jobs are beyond tacky and ricer."
Not that you don't exude class, but, to put it mildly, racial epithets like "ricer" aren't exactly at the awesome end of the tacky scale.
Anyone else reminded of the Target logo?
@dacav
You mean a target?
That is one of the ugliest Laptop lids I've ever seen.
@Pickaxe Come on, be adventurous! Say it with conviction - That is undoubtedly the ugliest laptop lid you've ever seen.
Thunder......Thunder......THUNDERCATS.............HOOOOOOO!
Why do all 3rd party gaming laptops have to look butt ugly
Please tell me the words "Touch Screen Gaming" won't be embedded on that notebook's lid, that's just too tacky.
On second thought the whole thing looks tacky...
why the heck would anybody want to play games on a touchscreen?
any first-person shooters and racing games are out of the question by default, then you have stuff like solitaire and minesweeper which could work, but are still better with a mouse. Another category would be simulation games like SimCity, multitouch zooming might be fun for the first 5 minutes, but i'm sure it would get annoying after that.
Your arms would also get tired and your screen would get dirty.
So please do tell me what is supposed to be so great about touchscreen gaming, or in fact touchscreen anything?
As if the ugly flame design on Toshiba's Qosmio wasn't enough.
@MikeZ
100% agree
