Just a few months after launching its first desktop gaming PC, the Phobos, BFG is entering the gaming notebook market.
The Deimos X-10 SLI isn’t an ultraportable – it’s a desktop-class gamig machine that happens to be built into a notebook form factor.
The notebook uses the Intel platform, and can be configured with either a Core 2 Duo, Quad, or Extreme processor. Graphics, however, is the centerpiece, and the Deimos was designed with the option to run two GeForce GTX 280M 1GB cards in SLI mode, duplicating the performance of a desktop gaming rig. The Deimos display 1920-by-1080 true HD LCD screen.
“The Deimos X-10 SLI notebook is perfect for gamers and media enthusiasts who demand desktop performance but prefer the portability of a notebook,” said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies, in a statement. “Deimos X-10 comes fully locked and loaded to deliver the ultimate HD mobile gaming and multimedia experience.”
The rest of the notebook’s specs are more conventional: up to 4 Gbytes of DDR3 memory, 4 USB 2.0 ports, and DVI and HDMI output. Still, the Deimos also includes three drive bays and built-in Dolby surround sound, including a subwoofer, and a Super Multi Blu-ray reader.
The Deimos costs $1,859, and can be preordered from BFG’s Web site. BFG is offering a 10 percent discount from now until Oct. 10, and a free service visit is included.
