What we have here is the latest gaming notebook from PC MicroWorks, the company that has more powerful computer systems than any other manufacturer in the world.



The 17-inch notebook called Black-Hawk XR5 features a quad-core processor and 2 Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX mobile video cards in SLI mode.
The video card has its own 1GB dedicated GDD3 memory and also supports DirectX 10; in other words it is the most powerful graphics card for notebooks at the moment.

A gaming notebook and a workstation in the same time, the Black-Hawk XR5 is capable to house 3 SATA 300 hard drives in a RAID and 4GB of 800MHz DDR2 memory.
Its HD Wide Cinema Display measures 17 inches, has a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels and uses the CrystalVision technology.



“We are excited to see the boundaries between desktop and notebook performance levels converge even further with the new system release. The XR5 will give even the most extreme desktops a run for their money,” said Steve Young, VP of Operations.

PC MicroWorks announced that the new model will have a custom carbon fiber top accented by piano black gloss finishes across the notebook enhancing this way the appearance.


With this notebook you will be able to use the next generation internet connectivity at up to 7Mbps speed, with no need for hotspots, because it comes with support for EV-DO / HSDPA.
The built-in GPS receiver is an option that comes with software for distance based voice guidance and directions.
Other features include a built in media card reader with support for SD, MS, MS Pro, MS Duo, MS Pro Duo, Mini-SD, and MMC card types, and connectivity options such as DVI, D-SUB CRT Video Output, USB 2.0, Firewire Port, TV Out (S-Video/HDTV Output Support), TV Input (Optional with TV Tuner), SPDIF Digital Sound Output, RJ11 connector for Modem, and an RJ45 connector for Ethernet.
In addition it comes also with a built-in 1.3 webcam, Bluetooth, and an optional High Speed Blu-Ray-RW Drive.
