Hi all,

 

We have just published a review of *rock's Xtreme 770 X9000-8800* gaming

notebook, featuring a Core 2 Extreme X9000 and a GeForce 8800M GTX - if

you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/"Honestly, my feelings about the rock Xtreme 770 are a bit mixed. On

the one hand, the Xtreme 770 offers very good gaming performance,

application performance and comes with some nice extras and a good

warranty. Even the bag that comes bundled with the laptop is nice,

though the laptop itself is quite heavy---but that's to be expected.

 

On the other hand though, the battery life won't let you even get

through one two hour film and I still feel that the concept of a gaming

laptop is one that hasn't been explored properly yet. Just because it

doesn't have a separate monitor, keyboard and speakers doesn't mean that

this 17-inch beast suddenly becomes portable!

 

In the end, for me, it's the gaming performance and overall feel of the

Xtreme 770 that makes this laptop a winner -- this is a machine which

feels good to use and some obvious care and attention has obviously gone

into the design. rock has even spaced out the USB ports so you can fit

multiple devices in without making it a squeeze. The laptop as a whole

feels good to use and the gaming performance, while maybe not as good as

we had hoped, is more than enough for modern gaming.

 

It may be expensive and many //bit-tech readers may guffaw and pledge

continued, undying loyalty to their desktop machines, but the reality is

that the rock Xtreme 770 is a very tempting piece of kit and more than

capable of any task you might care to throw at it."/

*Cheers guys!
