This new SL Pro notebook from UK manufacturer Rock Direct, boasts one of the biggest screens available on a high spec gaming notebook. It's also packed with a 2GHz Turion 64 X2 processor courtesy of AMD, two 160 GB hard drives and twin NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX graphics cards.

The Xtreme Sl pro gaming laptopThere isthe Rock, the famous wrestler and aspiring Shakespearean actor:). Or the Rock, the ancient (as ancient as American stuff canbe) prison off of San Francisco, aka Alcatraz. And lastly, thereis Rock, the U.K. laptop manufacturer that got its start in 1992,and now is putting out hand-built high-end laptops like the NewXtreme SL Pro in the United Kingdom.
I'll letyou decide which Rock is more important in your life. Let's startwith the latter one. The British laptop company's latest creationis a gaming notebook with twin NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTXgraphics cards with 512MB each in dedicated memory and SLItechnology to help them hum along; a 20 inch X-Glass screen withWSXGA+ resolution up to 1680 x 1050; a sound system with 5.1Surround Sound output; 2.8GB of DDR2 RAM; and an AMD Turion 64 X2Tl-60 cranking out up to 2GHz.

You wanna hear about the other Rock's new movie about a man whofights alien robots in a ship that was sent to the middle of theEarth to stop a terrorist plot to blow up the planet's core? No?How about how cold the water is around the other Rock, making itnear impossible for prisoners to escape back in the day? No?

How about how the Rock'sXtreme SL Pro laptop isn't all about gaming? Sure. Itfeatures double 160GB hard drives, and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and aWebcam come included. A digital TV tuner is optional. For thoselooking to use the laptop for practical purposes, instead of justfor playing the latest game based on the latest Rock movie, theXtreme can come configured with the NVIDIA Quadro 2500M fordesigners and artists tapping into CAD and other 3-Dprograms.

Do you want to smell what the Rock is cooking? I didn't think so.You instead want to know when the Rock's Xtreme will beavailable. The U.K. company will be hand-crafting to order itslatest creation as early as December, and gamers who are gunningfor this top laptop canplace their orders now at www.rockdirect.com. The specs on theXtreme SL Pro leave many gaming notebooks in the shade.
