Best Gaming Laptops and Notebooks: PowerPro R 12:17 Unboxing

To check out my actual review on the PowerPro R 12:17 use this link to the Geek Weekly Oct 1, 2011 show: http://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?album=4038901&pid=31700523#top_dis...

Looking to game well, but not for $2,000 dollars? Well the PowerPro R 12:17 might be for you. Bought it with OS for ~ $1,400. Not bad. Enjoy this unboxing/review video. Sorry for the glare.

* SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE, BUT THIS LAPTOP IS THE BAREBONE OF THE MSI 780DX NOT THE 780R. THANKS.

Where did you download bios for this laptop??

[funnyeehn]

@emibobi The bios came with the computer from Power Notebooks.

[Syakir2004]

what do u think about asus g74sx?

[funnyeehn]

@Syakir2004 I think that it's a good laptop, but that you get more bang for your buck with the PowerPro.

[Syakir2004]

@funnyeehn oh thx, hey why does the power pro ur currently owning looks like msi gt783?

[funnyeehn]

@Syakir2004 It's the same chassis as the MSI GT783. So pretty much, the framework without all of the MSI stuff on it.

[MrLGDef]

How can I get the cheapest powerpro laptop with ATI graphics cards? I'm a fan of AMD and I don't like nVIDIA that much.
