We know it's not always possible - or desirable - to wait until after work to log into your World of Warcraft account and game for a few hours. If your manager just won't see reason and let you log in for some mid-afternoon gaming on your office PC, we might have a solution. Korean firm Pixel Lab has just announced the second in their line of laptops specifically built for you.
This smooth looking beast is the RippleNote PLK570 gaming laptop, and it's been optimized for those of you out there who don't use laptops just for word processing. The design looks like an improvement on the T7700, and they've definitely put a lot of muscle under the hood.
No word on when it'll be made available to us Yanks, but here are a few particulars to salivate over in the meantime. The Ripplenote PLK570 features a Core 2 Duo T7700 running at 2.4GHz on a 160GB hard drive, with the full 4GB of DDR2 memory and a Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT. It's also got a 7-in-1 card reader and a 2 megapixel camera built-in, plus ports for S-Video, HDMI, DVI and 1394, complete with 7.1 Channel Digital Sound output. Visuals come courtesy of a 17" WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) panel. Ethernet, Bluetooth and WiFi are all standard.
Still, the $2500 asking price - about $1000 more laptop than most people reasonably need - pretty much lands this strictly in the specialty category. A specialty that involves pnwing n00bs morning, noon and night. And it's worth noting that you can soup up a good Alienware laptop well past those specs for the same amount of money, and have it shipped out to you almost immediately.
