Maingear debuts eX-L 17 gaming laptop
What's bigger than a Maingear eX-L 15 laptop but smaller than a Maingear eX-L 18? If you said a Maingear eX-L 16 you'd be dead wrong, but if you said a Maingear eX-L 17 you'd have amazingly guessed the name of the company's latest gaming laptop. As you can see, this 17-incher sticks pretty close to the company's other laptops in terms of appearance, and Maingear is also unsurprisingly claiming that it offers the "most powerful components ever assembled into a 17-inch notebook." That includes your choice of Core i5 or Core i7 processors, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870, NVIDIA GeForce GTX480M, or Quadro FX 2800M graphics, up to 8GB of dual channel DDR3 RAM, a max 750GB hard drive or 512GB SSD and, of course, your choice of laser engraving options on the lid. Also like Maingear's other laptops, this one doesn't exactly come cheap -- configurations start at $1,899.
