Reviews for the Rock Xtreme 780

60% Rock Xtreme 780 Q9000
Source: vnunet.com English Archive.org version
More and more households are now using laptop PCs rather than desktops as the main computer in the house and so there's a need for laptops that are as powerful as their desktop cousins, or more so, especially those designed for games players. The Rock Xtreme 780 Q9000 is a games players' computer, but although it's technically portable its size and bulk mean that it's unlikely ever to leave the house once it arrives. A superb games computer, but fan noise was very annoying and it costs a fair whack

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTX:

Similar to the 8800M GTX, the 9800M GTX is based on the G92 chip but includes more unified shaders. The 9800M GTX was later succeeded by the 55nm GTX 260M.

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

Intel Core 2 Extreme: The fastest Core 2 Duo variants of Intel are called Core 2 Extreme. Technically, these processors are based on a Merom/Penryn (X9000) core like all other Core 2 Duo  processors,  too.


QX9300: Expensive mobile Quad Core CPU with a free multiplicator and a TDP of 45 Watt. Due to the large Level 2 cache and the 2.5 GHz the CPU offers a good performance for single and multithreaded applications.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


17.00":

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

3.8 kg:

Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight. 


Rock: Rock is a British laptop manufacturer and focusses the UK market.


60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
