Falcon Northwest TLX Gaming Laptop Review
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
The Falcon Northwest TLX is a fine machine. It's not going to compete with your modern super-thin notebook computer for portability - but it's not really meant to. Instead, the TLX represents PC-level graphics and gameplay delivered in a package that'll easily fit in your backpack. That's no joke.

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.  

4910MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.9 GHz with Turbo Boost support. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» 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.

3.2 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

Falcon Northwest: Falcon Northwest is a small US computer manufacturing company sinc 1992.
