SmoothCreations Announces Bulldozer Mobile Workstation

[btarunr]

Soon after becoming the first to be out with a portable desktop alternative featuring the Intel Core i7 processor, SmoothCreations dished out another of its kind, this time a portable workstation named Bulldozer. The company is looking to target two classes of consumers with this product: gamers, and graphics professionals, who will take advantage of its hardware for high-definition gaming or CAM/CAE/CAD, medical imaging, forensics, government or military use. The applications are broad thanks to the hardware, which just might come at the expense of a little portability.

The Bulldozer features a 17-inch screen with a native resolution of 1900x1200 pixels. Under its hood is a Core i7 (models 940 or 965 XE) or Xeon X5580 processor. Up to 16 GB of memory can be opted for, along with up to 1.5 TB of storage thanks to three SATA HDD bays. A Blu-Ray combo drive provides removable storage. Connectivity options include WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet, and Bluetooth 2.0. Graphics is care of NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 with 1 GB of memory. Depending on the application, 64-bit Windows XP, Windows Vista, or RedHat Linux could be opted for. Its pricing is not known.

2hours bat life, if all your doing is surfing the net, start watching a movie and it drops to 1hour, try and play a game, and it lasts 15min, burns ur legs/table top/carpet/bed/exct.

will probbly come with some kinda external batt pack the size of a large car/boat batt so you can get some real use out of it with it sitting on a block of dry ice

I want a 17-inch TFT screen with a native resolution of 1900x1200, thin bezel, x2 for my desktop. Why dont manuf's do some nice high pixel density screens for us desktop users

Ew why would you want a laptop with World at War on the front I guess some people like it but deep down they know CoD4 is better

You can make SmoothCreations draw anything on the bezel. Not sure if the COD graphic is the default bezel design this comes with, although given in the press picture.
