*** Coming soon *** custom built laptops from OcUK

  • Thread starter Thread starter RTB
  • Start date Start date
Another observation, even though it's saturday ;)

The Titan Mobile - 15.4" WXGA Laptop changes specs between the Custom Laptop splash screen and when you look at it's specs, from a 9800M GTS to a 9600M GS 256MB

I mean if you guys wanna give me one as a prize for spotting that, I don't mind it actually comes with a lesser spec card...
 
I have to congratulate you Rup on this idea, I take it rob is very happy with this as well :D

Would be nice to see £299 laptops to compete with the likes of the major shop retailers

Maybe a Celeron based system.

when will the parts become ready to purchase so the daring people can build their own laptop.

pity I'm not there to build these babies


Can you upload some real life pictures of the case and laptop its self, so people get an idea of real life looks.

Well spotted! You buy one and I give you a free game of GRID!
 
Another quick qustion, is it going to be possible for you to get the mxm gfx cards in at some point so we could upgrade them ourselves?

Thats one thing I hate about laptops, having to sell it and buy another when the gfx become out of date

Currently, the graphics cards are supplied direct from the manufacturer e.g. Nvidia to the barebone manufacturer from whom we buy from and thus, no.

give them time dragon the more positive responses they get from people am sure they will give more options to us for screens sizes cpus and what nots
 
I'm going to be buying a ~£550 15.4 laptop around the start of september, for university, so this is interesting.

Is 1280x800 a decent res for this size as I have no laptop experience? Do higher res screens such as the 1440 I was looking at on a dell studio get quite cramped on this screen size?


The primo mobile to be slightly cheaper than a studio of similar spec too. (5750, 4gb, 160gb. However, there's a 9300 GS vs a 3450 and backlit keyboard). Only thing is there is delivery to add on top for OcUK

Also with the studio I noticed it is £40 more expensive to upgrade from a 5750 to the 8300 than on a 1530, as well as there being no option for the 8100, which is an annoyance.


Edit:
A suggestion would be 3GB ram for the primo mobile.

Hi all,

Please feel free to discuss this product range in detail (obviously without straying too far outside forum rules) - I am very keen to understand what you think works and does not work to ensure that we can deliver the very best customised laptop solution on the market.

To answer a few questions;
1. Yes, the range will grow
2. Yes, there will be more choices - e.g. Res, CPUs etc
3. Yes, we will have high res shots as soon as we can and you won't be disappointed - we've spent considerable time tracking down the right look
4. Yes, we will be showing off detail specs including a build and dismantle guide
5. and Yes, there WILL be an overclocked version.

...but all this depends on you and how many you buy!!!

6. and Yes, I'll give a discount for bulk orders ;) but make them big :D

We've already had an exciting number of orders for a pre-order product such as this - so keep the thoughts coming and we WILL be reading them.

Thanks for choosing OcUK Forums...

Rupert
 
Just to add on to what Rupert has said so far:

- We will be looking to add 12.1" and 13.3" options early next week
- We'll also sort the 1440x900 screens resolution
 
Are the 5 laptops you have shown, the final 5 that you will be launching with?.

I know its very early days but I read above that you have placed the order for the parts, so is the Primo Mobile going to be your cheapest offering at launch?

After looking into it I dont think Im going to be able to afford anything other than integrated (X3100 -X4500) graphics. Do you plan to launch your no frills lowest end laptop in the same timescale as the ones you currently have up?

Or are we looking at Mid September?. Anyways, I hope you cater for the very bottom end of the scale as well. Im thinking Primo Budget with integrated graphics and a T5500 CPU.
