Hello everybody. This is my first post.
First, I bought a Hypersonic GX7 mid-August via their web site. I had originally purchased an Alienware but they ticked me off by offering my buddy free shipping and not me. In addition, they told me I was backordered for 8 weeks due to the DVD RW. However, my buddy bought an Alienware the same day and his wait time was only 4 weeks plus he received free shipping.
At any rate, I cancelled the Alienware order and went for the GX7.
First the specs:
3.40GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor (Northwood)
2 x 1024MB PC3200 DDR400 RAM SODIMM
Integrated V.92 56K Fax/Data Modem
8X DVD / 24X-10X-24 CD-R/W Combo Drive w/ Recording Software
Internal Subwoofer Speaker Module
6 in 1 Flash Media Card Reader Bay
2 x 60GB 7200rpm Ultra ATA Hard Drive w/ 8MB Cache
RAID(0) Striped Drive Configuration (RAID controller required)
1Year 24/7 Toll-Free Tech Support Platinum Service & Lifetime Support
Intel 865PE+ICH5 Chipset Socket 478 Mobile Motherboard (800MHz FSB)
Built-in 4-Speaker 3D Sound System w/ 5.1 Channel S/PDIF Output
Built-in ATA Hardware RAID Controller
Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Targus Platinum Deluxe Case for 17" Laptops
Norton Anti-Virus 2004 CD 1-Year Subscription, Preinstalled & Updated
Aviator GX7 in Standard Navy
ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 (M11) 256MB for GX7 (w/ TV Out)
Internal 802.11b+g Turbo 108Mbps Wireless Mini PCI Network Adapter
17" WSXGA+ 1680x1050 Wide-Screen Display w/ Super Clear Glossy Surface
Additional 12-Cell Lithium-Ion battery for Aviator GX7
MS Windows XP Home Edition CD & Manual SP2
I received the GX7 one one and half months after placing my order. There is a 2 week delay due to me being stationed in Iraq (APO Shipping).
The Targus case and Laptop arrived in seperate boxes. Needless to say, the GX7 is quite fast. I've only played Far Cry so far and it's unbelievable. However, Doom 3 won't work. It gets past the intro and then shuts down. It just recently happen so I'll look into and get back to you all.
Overall, the notebook is great. Large screen, lots of ram, fast mobile video card and very well built. Will add more to this review shortly but my time at the internet is up.
Regards
