Just a month after pushing out a smaller duo of gaming laptops,
Maingear has now revealed an entirely new line catering to mid-range
gamers. The Alt-15 and Alt-17 both start right around the magical
$1,000 point, and moreover, both rely on NVIDIA's graphics-switching
Optimus technology to conserve battery life when you don't need the
GPU pegged. The Alt-15 is a 15.6-incher with a Core i5 or Core i7
Mobile processor, NVIDIA's GeForce GT 425M (1GB), up to 8GB of DDR3
memory, an optional Blu-ray drive, your choice of an HDD or SSD,
Windows 7, a fingerprint reader, HDMI / VGA outputs, a USB 3.0 socket
(plus a trio of USB 2.0 sockets) and a $1,049 base price. The bigger,
beefier Alt-17 gets away with a 17.3-inch LCD (1080p) and most of the
same specifications as listed above, though you'll see a starting tag
that's $50 more. Hit the links below if you're up for a little
customization.
