OcUK Hardcore Gamer P177SM 17.3" LED Full HD Intel Haswell Processor, 1600MHz DDR3, SSD + HDD, ATI Radeon HD 8970M 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Windows - Black @ £1229.90 inc VAT

LT-020-OE_400.jpg


For hardcore gamers who want the best in mobile gaming, look no further than the OcUK Hardcore Gamer P177SM. There is no more powerful or better constructed option, with the latest 4th generation (Haswell) Intel Core I7 Processor there is no shortage of power and for those who only demand the most powerful, we can construct the OcUK Hardcore Gamer P177SM with an Intel I7 Extreme processor too. Though our own in house testing shows the best bang for buck performance comes from the Intel Core I7 4800MQ & 4700MQ processors, so we highly recommend these when choosing a processor option.

This chassis uses the absolute very latest in technology such as SATA3, USB3.0, Bluetooth, WiFi but the most impressive of all is the fact this system features an ATI Radeon HD 8970M with 4GB of GDDR5 dedicated memory for absolutely blistering performance. With so much video memory and such horsepower you can even output to a 30" monitor and still have great gaming performance or run a multi-monitor setup.

With an LED backlit 17.3" screen with True HD (1920x1080) resolution games have never looked so good on the go or ran so smooth due to the power of the ATI HD 8970M's onboard graphics. The OcUK Hardcore Gamer P177SM features high quality THX speakers with Sound Blaster cinema technology for the ultimate gaming experience.

For memory we only use the highest performance and most reliable for laptops, which is Corsair Vengeance which is set to run at 1600MHz with T1 memory timings resulting in absolute instant response. 8GB is the default choice which is more than adequate for all task and gaming, we only recommend 16GB kit if your also doing a lot of photography work or heavy multi-tasking. Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz will extract the very best performance from the OcUK Hardcore Gamer P177SM causing zero bottlenecks in the system.

For hard drive options, we recommend the primary drive as an SSD drive, this means from point of pressing power on your should be at the Windows 8 Desktop in approx 10 seconds and with an SSD applications and games load more or less instantly. Of course if you preferre capacity you can choose a large capacity HDD or a Hybrid drive too. Our recommendation is to select an SSD for the primary drive along with a HDD as the secondary drive for storage.

When you buy a Overclockers UK system/laptop the only software you’ll find is your choice of operating system. We guarantee that there will be no third party apps, useless bloatware or unnecessary trial software, to keep your machine running at peak performance from the start. We also only install the latest drivers which are proven to provide maximum performance when gaming.

I've been doing a lot of looking around recently for a 4800MQ, 8GB Ram, 8970M 15.6" and they've come to just over £1.3K. OCUK equivalent is £1,279.91 PLUS you can use quidco to bring this down to £1,241.51 (None of the other sites had this without them being £100+ more in the first place).

Really impressive pricing.

Glad to hear it, the new 8970M chassis really is amazing, I love the new touchpad and graphic equalizers, all adds to the wow factor. :D

I was looking at the W370ST. I was also looking at the ****** LG175. Similarly configured the **** comes out nearly 200 quid cheaper. There are some aspects that are difficult to compare from the descriptions - e.g. quality of the display; general build quality; quality of the chassis; quality of the speakers (although I'd normally use headphones anyway). And it's not possible to choose identical drive configurations. Any opinions on the relative merits of the two?

As an aside - anyone have any experience putting linux on either of these?

At the risk of necroing, I was left with a slightly itchy feeling when I first realized that the 15" laptops have slightly too identical descriptions and pictures to the 17" ones... I was wondering if there was any chance of clarifying whether there were any meaningful differences (hopefully there are in e.g. dimensions ;)), and possibly getting some pictures up for both to show any differences in layout or design?
