In the next few days I will publish a new article containing pictures, my personal experience with the install, and my overall review of the product

Tempist6499d ago

Interesting concept that OCZ has put out there and $1250 is not a bad deal, however the question stands is if it's worth the cost vs a desktop which will have more power behind it.

TiKiMaN16499d ago

Yes, that certainly is true. You could get more horsepower with desktop components and it would be cheaper. However, if you need to play come COD4: MW or WoW on the go this might be a good option. Building a laptop yourself will save you a few hundred dollars (if not more) compared to buying from Dell or whoever.

One obvious downfall of OCZ DIY Gaming Notebook is the fact that you can't upgrade the GPU. Still for mobile gaming a GeForce 8600 GT isn't so bad.

socalr66499d ago

That's the whole point,being able to upgrade the GPU. I wish they made them that way

TiKiMaN16499d ago

It doesn't seem like it would be that hard for ATI or NVIDIA to provide a solution. It would be pretty sweet if they did. Maybe this is something we will see in the future. It's kinda tough though when the GPU is already part of the motherboard.

schivelrybrn6499d ago

Ive been wishing for years that they would stop putting the GPU on the system board. it shouldn't be to hard for them to make a sys board for a laptop without the GPU integrated (they do it for desktops all the time), and use PCI-E tech, or something new. and create a slot for them. can you imagine changing your GPU like you change your HDD. man that would be great!!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
