You can't argue with the specs of the new Xtreme 917v gaming laptop. It manages to cram a cutting edge Intel Core 2 Quad processor, and a terabyte of data storage into it's colossal 12.5 pound chassis. Have you got the bucks and the biceps to wield it?

Xtreme 917v laptopXtremeNotebooks delivered the future today with itsquad-core processing Xtreme 917v laptop. Let's just hope thatthis future is not the post-apocalyptic kind where the machinesrun the show and hunt us humans down for fodder (see theTerminator and Matrix movies). This laptop could have the juiceto be well on its way toward free thought, which, as we know fromHollywood, means the end for all mankind.


The 917v ispacked with four central processors, the Intel Core 2 Quadprocessor, making it the first laptop in the United States to bedistributed with this new chipset. Of course, XtremeNotebooksdoesn't tout the laptop as the first generation of machines thatwill conquer civilization. It sells it as a first-of-its-kind,"bleeding edge" desktop replacement-the words of the companypresident, not mine-that can actually be carried around withoutcausing your back to give out. Its targetaudience--graphics-obsessed folks, whether for work or forplay.

Graphics, yes-it can come with dual SLI nVIDIA 8000 chips orQuadro graphics cards powered by Microsoft's graphics appinterface DirectX 10,which boosts time and quality of 3D graphics weaved by thechips.

That makes the Xtreme 917V something a cash-laden gamer musthave, or a tool that engineers, military folks, architects,planners, or anybody could use with such graphics-intensive appsas AutoCAD, Pro/Engineer, and 3DS MAX, and mapping programs likeESRI and ArcGIS.

Oh, and to save all these big projects you'll be creating,there's as much as a terabyte of storage, care of triple solidstate or SATA 300 hard drives.

However, all this power comes at a price, the Xtreme 917v is noultraportable. Indeed, it weighs in at a muscular 12.5 pounds, soyou'll benefit by having arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger to wieldit. Use this Quad Core power for good, my friends. Or else, oneday, Arnie might knock on your door looking for Sarah Conner. Ifhe does, do not answer it.
