Maingear Ex-L Gaming Notebook

The Maingear eX-L is one of the best gaming laptops (sometimes called gaming notebooks or gaming laptop computers) currently available. Its dual Radeon Mobility HD 3870 video cards and dual hard drives in raid ensure extreme performance. The processors powering it are Intel's new Mobile Core™2 Extreme and Core™2 Quad. As a gaming laptop computer in the words of Maingear "it has it all", including added biometric security and Blu-ray support.

Maingear’s eX-L gaming laptop is not cheap - costing in the range of $4,000 and it is not as stylish as Alienware’s gaming laptops - see Best Gaming Laptops. But those who prefer performance over style will like the fact that this gaming notebook is all about performance.

Using Intel’s Centrino 2 platform, the EX-L gaming laptop computer is powered by a 3GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 processor (overclocked to 3.33GHz), it can be fitted with 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 Performance Memory, and two 320GB hard drives in a RAID Level 0 configuration.

The main attraction however is the eX-L’s 3D performance. Its twin 512MB ATI Radeon HD 3870 GPUs, performed better than the Alienware Area-51 m17x in Computer Shopper's tests.

This system is built for performance, with portability being seen as secondary.
