PC MicroWorks Corporation, a professional grade computer maker, has released its latest powerful portable workstation called the Black-Hawk XR5 Quad Core Super Notebook.
The company claims that it is the first portable notebook to feature two of NVIDIA’s flagship mobile PCI express graphics units, namely the brand new Geforce Go 8800GTX cards in SLI mode, worldwide.
Powered by Intel quad core, which is mostly found in desktops, it ensures efficient multitasking, quicker encoding/rendering times, and faster overall system performance on the go.
It is said that the Black-Hawk is one of the few notebooks that is based on the desktop platform for high flexibility in both configuration and upgradeability of the system.
Other features of the Black-Hawk XR5 include:
“We are excited to see the boundaries between desktop and notebook performance levels converge even further with the new system release. The XR5 will give even the most extreme desktops a run for their money,” stated Steve Young, VP of Operations.
Leaving behind the mobile system platform, the new high-end notebook computer makes use of powerful desktop chipsets and CPUs for enhancing the system performance. It also has the ability to improve the standardized PCI express graphics card, CPU, RAM and Hard Drives.
Additionally, it also boasts a custom carbon fiber top accented by piano black gloss finishes across the notebook to enhance the appearance and add to the exclusivity of the unit. And, it also offers an extended product life cycle that goes beyond the traditional notebooks.
PC MicroWorks plans to start shipping the Black-Hawk XR5 Quad Core Super Notebook in December. However, the price is not yet announced.
It seems packing that much power into a mobile form is destined to have overheating issues. Though I do not know personally but there’s a good reason why dell and alienware haven’t attempted something like that in their laptop line.
