Cizmo's CX1730M gaming laptop packs a wallop

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 29th 2008 at 11:05AM

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).

Cizmo announces Centrino 2-based CX15 laptop

Germany's Cizmo isn't exactly the most well-known laptop manufacturer 'round these parts, but the company's new 15.4-inch, Centrino 2-based CX15 looks like it could well win it some new fans, with it boasting some pretty impressive specs and some not-too-shabby looks to match. Under that shiny exterior is your choice of a P8400, P8600, or P9400 Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX graphics, DDR3 RAM, an optional Blu-ray drive, an eSATA port, and a 32GB or 64GB SSD drive if standard hard drives aren't your thing. If that sounds like it fits your bill, you can look for this one to hit Europe in the first half of June with a starting price of €1,499, or just over $2,400.
