Reviews for the Digital Storm Equinox 15 inch

Digital Storm Equinox
Source: Maximum PC English Archive.org version
Still, with a laptop this thin, you should expect some concessions somewhere, and the Equinox doesn’t make too many of them. This laptop is quite powerful for what it is and is extremely portable. It also offers a decent array of ports and is pretty sexy for a gaming notebook.

70% Digital Storm Equinox
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
Offering a dazzling 15.6-inch screen, more than enough graphics for gaming at full HD, and a slim, sexy body, the Equinox straddles the line between power and portability in a way that feels just right. The comprehensive warranty is pretty nice, too. It's just too bad that this notebook doesn't last longer on a charge or run cooler in your lap.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M:

Second fastest high-end graphics card based on the Maxwell GM204 chip from the GeForce GTX 900M series.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


6700HQ: Skylake-based quad-core processor for notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 530 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Digital Storm: American hardware shop, founded 2002, which sells an own laptop brand.


70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
