Black Widow SLI

When people talk about high performance cars, they often say Ferrari, or Bentley, or Rolls Royce. When people talk about high-end computers, they will soon be saying WidowPC. The introduction of the Black Widow SLI is a revolution in the laptop-gaming industry. As the first dedicated gaming laptop to feature Intel’s Series 9 quad core processor as well as nVidia’s 9800 series of video processors and up to 8GB of RAM, the Black Widow SLI features an industry-leading configuration sure to make heads turn at the local coffee shop and in the arena.

A Desktop in the Your Hands
Packed with processing power, video, and memory, the Black Widow SLI will give any of today’s high-end gaming desktops a run for their money. The 3.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 duo processor matched with up to 2 dedicated nVidia GeForce video cards promises you that, wherever you are, you won’t be wishing you were sitting back at your desk.

Wicked Video
The Black Widow SLI is the only laptop on the market to feature nVidia’s latest technologies—the 9800 series of video processors. With a dedicated GPU and 512MB of VRAM, this card is bound to rock pixels and enemies alike. Add the opportunity to double-down (two nVidia GeForce 9800 graphics cards) and you have a laptop that even your mother would fear.

Processing Power to Spare
Even today’s most demanding games will only use a fraction of the Black Widow SLI’s immense processing power. The marriage of Intel’s revolutionary Core 2 Duo architecture and nVidia’s dedicated video processor (up to two per installation) means that technology you buy today won’t be obsolete tomorrow.

Key Features

Mobile Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (E8500)-codename Wolfsdale, this processor is wickedly fast with a minimal energy draw. It’s designed for massive processes at minimal effort.

nVidia GeForce 9800M GT-a powerful graphics adapter featuring 512MB of GDDR3 memory that is PhysX-ready and includes an integrated PureVideo HD video processor which helps with the decoding of H.264-, VC-1-, MPEG2- and WMV9 video material in HD quality and easing the burden on the CPU.
SATA harddrive-game experience degradation can come from not only a lack of memory and a poor video card but a slow hard drive as well. The included 5400RPM SATA drive ensures consistently high read/write and access speeds
DDR2 800 SDRAM-this "fast memory" radically reduces latency in accessing memory blocks, improving overall system performance
