OCZ has jumped into notebook segment with a new DIY notebook computer. The Do-It-Yourself gaming notebook isn’t like a regular laptop; it allows you to customize it to core. Designed for gaming enthusiasts, it lets you purchase an unconfigured notebook and customize the system to your needs with the help of guides and direct support. And when OCZ said you can fully customize your machine, they really mean it. Under DIY program, you can not only select major components such as Operating System, CPU, memory, and HDD/SSD but can also save money by purchasing components individually through sales, bundles, rebates, auctions, trades, etc. Additionally there is no mark-up for labor costs of assembling the notebook.
The 15.4″ DIY notebook supports Intel Core 2 Duo platform (including latest 45nm Penryn), NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics card, SATA hard drive, SSD, four USB 2.0 ports, dual layer DVD burner, fingerprint reader, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Intel 4965AGN 802.11a/g/n wireless, and TV tuner.
“For years consumers have wanted to build their own mobile computing platforms, but the product offerings and market simply did not serve them as they did in the desktop do it yourself segment,” said Eugene Chang, Product Manager for OCZ System Solutions. “With the OCZ Do-It-Yourself Notebook initiative, OCZ empowers with the resources like validated component guides, documentation, tech support, and a warranty to allow consumers to configure and build a true gaming notebook with the exact specification that matches their unique requirements.”
