PAX Australia - Take your gaming experience portable with Horize Laptops.
Its very rare for a laptop to impress me, they generally fall into one of two groups. Ultra books that are ultra light in weight and specs, or mammoth machines that are so heavy you are actually better off to take your normal PC with you.
However at PAX Australia, this past weekend, I had the chance to chat with Jack from Horize.com and he walked me through the laptops that they have and I have to say that I was blown away.
The entire range of laptops were built with both speed and performance at the forefront but not with the idea that they had to require a separate trailer to tow them around. There were two devices that really surprised me with both the power and the price points.
The first was the W650SR Ultra design.
The laptop in question sports either a core i5 or i7 Haswell based CPU, it sports a GT750m graphics chip set and it comes with a full HD 15.6 inch display, all while maintaining a nice weight around 2.5 kilos and a remarkable 7 hours battery life.
The fact that you are getting some fantastic power in such a small package is not lost on most people, and the booth at PAX Australia had nice crowds around it whenever I walked past.
The other laptop that really impressed me was the W650EH.
This laptop is towards the cheaper end of the spectrum so its nowhere near as powerful as the one above, nor the others that they sell. But for what you pay, you get a Core i5,a nVidia GT740m Graphics chip set, the same 15.6 inch full HD display and at just over 2 kilos its lighter but still retains that impressive 7 hours battery life.
Both of these incredible machines can be bought online from Horize and you can make changes as you see fit. For a great machine at a great price you can't go wrong.
