email to a friendPerformance fiends, say hello to The Redeemer. This beast of a system, co-developed by US-based Smooth Creation and BFG, sports a choice of Intel Core i7 processors and promises to "turn heads, and then shred them". Judging by its default artwork, we don't doubt it.
According to Smooth Creations, it worked closely with the likes of BFG, Corsair and Intel in order to create this "ass kicking system", and though we've no details on dimensions or weight, we do know what's inside.
Would-be-buyers are able to choose one of Intel's three Core i7 processors - including the 965 Extreme Edition. That'll be paired with dual BFG GeForce GTX 280 graphics cards in SLI and up to 12GB of triple-channel DDR3 memory.
The Redeemer's display measures 17in and provides a full-HD resolution and is backed up by a "perfect pixels" guarantee. Elsewhere, there's a choice of hard disk or solid state drives, an optional webcam and TV tuner, and a 12-cell battery keeping it all going - though, for exactly how long remains to be seen.
There's no doubting the system's hardware credentials, and whilst the first impression of Smooth Creations' custom artwork might be "vulgar", that's arguably the idea. Aimed at the LAN-going gamer, this is a system that states "if you don’t own the Redeemer system with BFG Mobile GeForce 280’s get ready for an ass-whipping".
Sold? It's available now - with a choice of configuration options and custom artwork designs - and prices start at just $3,200. Be careful, though, as that'll rise to around $8,024 if you get a little trigger happy with upgrades.

Spoilt kids and fools/money parted only methinks...Quote
as great a laptop as this is and yeah i know you pay a premium on this sort of thing but the extras seem a bit..over the top, even for a custom laptop

I thought that.. it's a little odd the way the second hard drive works. Shame you can't remove it as an option as that would save around £250.
I agree *scruffy* any laptop like this is overpriced but you do get an awful lot of mobile power from this, far more than you get elsewhere for the same (equivalent) money. I wouldn't buy it but I can see why people would.
Personally I think companies should be pushing external graphics onwards and upwards, that makes the most sense to me.Quote
redeemer eh? so when the battery explodes it kills everyone in the building?
Playing UT much?Quote
