80% AVADirect Avant P870DM-G Review: Extreme Gaming Potential
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
Potential buyers considering this notebook will be pleased by the range of upgrade options available at the time of purchase from AVADirect and the combinations of cutting-edge performance, high-quality audio, a very nice keyboard and quiet cooling fans make this a stand out among 17-inch gaming notebooks. Of course, nothing in life is perfect and the P870DM-G’s all-plastic construction and less-than-friendly access to the internal components will probably bother a number of PC gaming enthusiasts.
