** NEW GIGABYTE ULTRAFORCE 9xx SERIES LAPTOPS!! **

P35x

Hi Atom

Very keen on the P35X (even with the debate over 3k v 1080) and likely to make a purchase later today / tomorrow. Was originally looking at the P25X but this looks much better (although as others have said would have liked slightly bigger SDDs)

Quick couple of questions -
can I replace the HD with SDD easily?
Can I put a blu -ray writer in the swappable drive bay and what are dimension requirements for this?

Many thanks
 
Hey,

What's the dimension of the screws on the bottom panel (including the RAM access panel screw, which is different to the rest)? I am trying to find the right size screwdriver bit to fit it.

Thanks

P.S. yes, review is coming :)
 
Gave in today and ordered one these after reading Cakefish review (great overview feedback on the laptop btw :) )

Was very close to ordering a custom configured one from competitor, it was a fair bit cheaper but did not have the 3k screen and the 2 year global warranty.

I also bought NZXT CRYO X60 cooler as I will be living in a hot country for 3 months, anyone got one of these? Is the cooling good?

Hi Bigsyuk,

1. Yes you can, but please replace it with care and don't damage anything ;)
2. Yes you can (as well!), the dimension for the ODD is 9.5mm

Hope this helps.

Thanks Atom

Will be very careful :) - I trust no warranty issues with this (assuming I don't damage anything in my efforts!)

Sorry guys and girls,

Have just requested that ETA is updated on web-site...

Shouldn't be long now, we expect goods to arrive with OCUK in a couple of weeks time. If luck is on our side they may arrive before the new ETA of 20th November.

Sorry that I missed the question being asked before.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

I would also like to know this. The ETA on overclockers is 'overdue'.

Thanks Atom, for the update.

I see the ETA on Scan is 17 November yet 21 November on Overclockers. I'm assuming that the true ETA falls somewhere between 17-21 November (Monday-Friday) given it's impossible to be able to place when the courier will arrive with at the vendor during that week.
 
Well, I can confirm you are mean, Atom80.

I couldn't resist and my P35X CF1 is due today... after thinking, why buy the P35W and then upgrade it to 16 GB and raid0, while for a little extra difference you get: more powerful CPU, 980M, 3k...

You are mean. And I know I will love it.
