About a month ago I wrote about NVIDIA launching its latest mobile graphics circuit GeForce 8800M GTX and now the first systems using this monster chip have appeared.
WidowPC, a leader in cutting-edge PC hardware, has blown the compitetion out of the water by being the first to ship a gaming laptop featuring the 8800M GTX DirectX 10 compatible video card. Already an acclaimed mobile platform, WidowPC's Sting 517D2 makes a killer combination with the 8800M GTX GPU.

WidowPC provides the necessary customisation options with respect to mobile Intel CPU, RAM, Video card, HDD/SSD and Operating System.The base config starts at $2,061.
