MagyarMaingear Vector offers 144 Hz 1080p IPS display, Core i7-9750H CPU, and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics for $1499
Not to be confused for the mathematical term involving an object with both magnitude and direction (surely we can't be the only ones to be reminded of that), the Vector will be Maingear's next affordable 15.6-inch gaming laptop aimed at budget-conscious users. The announcement comes just a few weeks after launching the higher-end Maingear Element laptop aimed at enthusiasts.
The Vector will carry the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU in contrast to the RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU of the aforementioned Element laptop. It will be slightly thinner (19.8 mm vs. 20.5 mm) and heavier (1.89 kg vs. 1.85 kg) than the Element while sporting the same Core i7-9750H CPU and 144 Hz 1080p display. RAM, storage, Wi-Fi 6, and the mechanical keyboard of the Element, however, will be cut or reduced on the less expensive Vector model.
The Maingear Vector will be available starting today for $1500 or $500 cheaper than the $2000 Maingear Element. Check out the press release below and the official product page here to learn more about the machine. Main competitors to the Vector include other budget to mid-range gaming laptops like the MSI GP65, Asus Strix Scar III, Lenovo Legion Y740 15, HP Pavilion 15 Gaming, and the new Razer Blade 15 Base Model.

Kenilworth, NJ (NOVEMBER 5, 2019) - MAINGEAR — an award-winning PC system integrator of custom gaming desktops, notebooks, and workstations — today launched the MAINGEAR VECTOR, a sleek and powerful 15” gaming notebook that delivers high-performance functionality for an unbeatable value.
Combining a weight-saving hybrid aluminum and polycarbonate chassis with an Intel® 9th Gen Core™ i7-9750H 6-core mobile processor and new NVIDIA GeForce GTX™ 1660 Ti, the MAINGEAR VECTOR packs considerable power into a stealthy compact black design that’s .78” inches thick and weighs just 4.16 lbs. The MAINGEAR VECTOR meets the needs of gamers and content creators on the go, capable of delivering jaw-dropping game experiences and high-quality game streaming via Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). No stone was left unturned in the pursuit of speed; the VECTOR offers incredibly fast storage options with the addition of top-tier NVMe M.2 SSDs and 16GB of premium DDR4 memory. A vibrant anti-glare 1080p 144hz 15.6” display and back-lit RGB gaming keyboard complete the overall look of the VECTOR, continuing MAINGEAR’s tradition of style and substance.
“To date, the MAINGEAR VECTOR delivers the most performance per dollar of any gaming notebook that we have ever offered,” said Wallace Santos, founder and CEO of MAINGEAR. “The VECTOR is the perfect solution for gamers, streamers, and professional creators who want uncompromised functionality without the excessive weight often associated with gaming notebooks.”
The MAINGEAR VECTOR features game-changing technologies courtesy of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX™ 1660 Ti which optimizes performance and battery length. NVIDIA® OPTIMUS™ intelligently optimizes graphics performance based on the task at hand, extending battery life when on the move.
