While some popular companies (like Alienware) release top-notch gaming laptops every 3/4 months, others just announce one model from time to time that is always a beast. The last case comes from CyberPower, that introduced a gaming notebook named Gamer Xtreme M1.

The Xtreme M1 costs a lot - starting price of $2,200 - but the specifications are worth the money. With that being said, the laptop has a 17-inch TFT (WUXGA) LCD screen with 1920×1200 pixels of resolution, and there are 2 processor options: Intel Core 2 Duo, or a Core 2 Extreme Processor. The mainboard is powered by an Intel PM45 + ICH-9M Chipset, and the RAM memory of 4GB (DDR3-1066) is either made from Corsair or Major Brand.

XtremeNotebooks, a US custom gaming rig supplier announced its new Xtreme 917V laptop, featuring an Intel Core 2 Quad processor. Options on the Xtreme 917V include RAID 0, 1, or 5, dual SLI nVidia 8000 or Quadro series graphics cards (with support for Microsoft DirectX 10, of course) and triple SATA hard disk drives up to 300GB each.
